THC Arnold Palmer: The Golf Course Classic with a Better Buzz
Share
A THC Arnold Palmer combines half iced tea and half lemonade with 10mg of water-soluble THC from Halo Drink Mix. It takes less than two minutes to make, tastes exactly like the classic you already know, and delivers a clean, fast-acting buzz without alcohol, sugar, or a hangover. The flavorless Halo powder dissolves instantly into the tea-lemonade blend, and the water-soluble formula means most people feel the onset within 10 to 20 minutes. It is a cooler staple that belongs on every golf cart, patio table, and tailgate spread.
Below you will find the full recipe, tips for batching it, and a few variations that keep things interesting.

Key Takeaways
- Half iced tea, half lemonade, one scoop of Halo. The formula is that simple
- 10mg of water-soluble THC per glass with onset in 10 to 20 minutes
- Zero alcohol, zero sugar added. Sweetness comes from the lemonade you choose
- Scales easily into a pitcher for golf outings, cookouts, and group hangs
- Cooler-ready and travel-friendly. Pre-mix and bring it anywhere
The Full THC Arnold Palmer Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsweetened iced tea (black tea works best)
- 4 ounces lemonade (fresh-squeezed or your preferred brand)
- 1 scoop Halo THC Drink Mix (10mg)
- Ice
Instructions
Pour the iced tea and lemonade into a tall glass over ice. Add one scoop of Halo THC Drink Mix and stir for 10 seconds until fully dissolved. The powder is flavorless and water-soluble, so it disappears completely into the drink. No residue, no aftertaste, no change to the classic Arnold Palmer flavor you already know.
That is the whole process. If you can pour two things into a glass and stir, you have just made a THC Arnold Palmer.
Why the Arnold Palmer Is the Perfect THC Carrier
The Arnold Palmer has been a go-to non-alcohol drink for decades because it actually tastes good. It is refreshing without being too sweet, interesting enough to sip on all afternoon, and fits every setting from a backyard grill to the 19th hole. Adding 10mg of water-soluble THC does not change any of that. It just adds a clean buzz to a drink that was already built for long, easy afternoons.
The THC Arnold Palmer works especially well because the tea and lemon flavors are bold enough to stand on their own without needing the THC to contribute any taste. The Halo mix is completely flavorless, so the drink is all tea and citrus. You are not tasting hemp. You are not tasting anything except the drink.
For social settings where some people are drinking alcohol and others are not, this is the great equalizer. It looks like what everyone else is holding, tastes like a classic, and gives you a controlled buzz without the calories, bloating, or regret that come with beer and cocktails.
Batch It for a Group
This recipe scales beautifully into a pitcher. For eight servings, combine 32 ounces of unsweetened iced tea with 32 ounces of lemonade. Stir in 8 scoops of Halo THC Drink Mix (80mg total, 10mg per 8-ounce serving). Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Pour into a large pitcher or insulated jug with ice. Label the pitcher clearly so everyone knows the dose per serving. This is important for any THC-infused group drink. Everyone deserves to know what they are consuming and how much.
The batch version holds well for several hours in a cooler or fridge. Give it a stir before serving each round, and you are good to go.

Dosing and Legal Notes
One scoop equals 10mg of hemp-derived THC. That is a solid dose for most adults with some THC experience. If this is your first THC beverage, go with half a scoop (5mg) and give it 30 minutes to fully kick in. THC affects everyone differently based on body weight, tolerance, and metabolism.
Because Halo uses water-soluble THC, the onset is faster than traditional edibles. Most people report feeling it within 10 to 20 minutes. Do not double up too quickly. Mix one glass, enjoy it, and decide from there.
Halo THC Drink Mix is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill for hemp-derived THC products. State laws vary. Check your local regulations before purchasing. All products are third-party lab tested with Certificates of Analysis available at drinkhalo.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of tea is best for a THC Arnold Palmer?
Black tea is the classic choice for an Arnold Palmer. It has the most body and balances well against the lemonade. Green tea or herbal teas work too if you prefer a lighter drink. Use unsweetened tea so you can control the sweetness through the lemonade side.
Can I make a THC Arnold Palmer with powdered iced tea mix?
Yes. If you use powdered iced tea mix, dissolve the tea powder and the Halo THC Drink Mix at the same time in the water, then add the lemonade. The results are just as good. Fresh-brewed tea has a slightly better flavor, but the convenience of powder works perfectly for on-the-go mixing.
Is 10mg of THC too much for a day on the golf course?
10mg is a moderate social dose for most adults with THC experience. For a full day outdoors, some people prefer to start with half a scoop (5mg) and have a second glass later in the round. Stay hydrated with plain water between servings. THC affects everyone differently, so find the dose that works for your day.
