No, not half & half like the stuff you put in your coffee. Ick. What i'm talking about is a drink from AriZona Tea called Arnold Palmer Lite Half & Half Iced Tea and Lemonade. It's a super refreshing combination of exactly what the name describes, and it has become a staple around our house now, mostly because it's so incredibly tasty mixed with flavored vodka that BAM, you have an instant summer cocktail with little to no effort. We buy it by the gallon now, and because it's a light version, I feel a little less guilty about drinking it in somehwat copious amounts. And if you don't like diet drinks, they have regular too.
But seriously, if you do mix this with an alcoholic beverage (we prefer raspberry Stoli, but I bet it would be delish with flavored rum, too), be warned. The Arnold Palmer really masks the bite of the alcohol, so it's very possible to forget you're drinking a fairly strong cocktail and all of a sudden you're wondering why you feel like passing out at 8:00 PM on a Friday night. I speak from experience.
Lemonade mixed with sweet tea vodka is another delicious way to make an Arnold Palmer.

My husband enjoys keeping a jug of this in the fridge to mix up Nutty Palmers, the half & half with a generous amount of coconut rum added.
