Arnold Palmer Sangria Recipes

GRILLED ARNOLD PALMER COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for high heat.
• Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes. Discard the bags, pour the hot tea into a liquid measuring cup and let cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Let the tea chill in the refrigerator while you grill the lemons.
• Slice one of the lemon halves into 4 thin rounds. Place the remaining halves flesh-side down on the grill pan, and cook until the flesh is deeply charred, about 5 minutes, rotating the lemons as needed so they char evenly. Place the sliced rounds on the grill, and char on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer the lemon halves to a plate, and let cool for at least 10 minutes. (You will be squeezing them, so they should be cool enough to handle.) Reserve the charred rounds for garnish.
• Squeeze the cooled lemon halves into a medium bowl or a liquid measuring cup (you should have about 1 cup of juice). Whisk in the honey and 1 cup cold water.
• To serve, fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Divide the lemonade mixture equally among them. Stir 1/2 to 1 ounce bourbon into each glass. Slowly pour 1/4 of the chilled tea into each glass-it should float on top of the lemonade, making a two-layer drink. Garnish each glass with a charred lemon slice, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Tie the tea bags together attach to the handle of a large pitcher. Pour the hot water over the tea bags and into the pitcher. Set aside to steep for 5 minutes.
• Lemonade: To a blender, add the Simple Syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest and ice cubes and pulse to puree. Place the mixture into the freezer until the tea has finished steeping. Add ice cubes to a large glass and top with the tea. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the "lemonade" into the glass.
• Add the sugar and water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.

TIPSY PALMER

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Combine the lemon juice, grapefruit juice, gin, limoncello and tea in a pitcher. Add the sugar syrup to taste and stir to combine. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Put ice cubes in 6 to 8 pint-size Mason jars and fill three-quarters of the way with the lemon tea mixture. Top with a splash of club soda, if you want your drink a little fizzy. Garnish with a lemon slice.
