Recipe for the Artful "Arnold Palmer"

We love Cafe Marmalade's signature version of the classic summer drink known as the Arnold Palmer, a thirst-quenching concoction of lemonade and iced tea.  Cafe Marmalade's twist?

Brewed Ginger Peach tea by Republic of Tea

House-made minted lemonade 

Crushed ice. 

But, when it comes to style, we really love the layered glamor of the "Arnold Palmers" served at  the Panama Hotel.

Panama Hotel's secret?  Fill 3/4 of a pint glass with ice. Top the ice with lemonade. Slowly add iced tea.

Do we sip from the top for a taste of tea, sink the straw lower for a little lemonade or try for the middle without disturbing the balance? We never know.
