These Arnold Palmer Cupcakes taste just like the drink, but in cupcake form! Iced tea + lemonade = one delicious combination.

Arnold Palmers (or Half-and-Halfs, for my Bawlmer readers) are one of my favorite summertime drinks. Half lemonade, half iced tea. The best of both worlds.

Are you all familiar with this combination? I brought these cupcakes to work and was pretty surprised at the number of people who did not know what an Arnold Palmer is.

This was the first recipe I decided to make from the Grandbaby Cakes cookbook that I gifted myself for my birthday. I do have my eye on a strawberry-rhubarb pound cake sort of business from that cookbook, as well. So hopefully you’ll see that sometime soon, too.

These cupcakes, though admittedly a little drab in appearance without the lemon and mint garnish, are flavorful, sweet, and tangy. Just like a good Arnold Palmer.

This recipe comes from the lovely cookbook Grandbaby Cakes: Modern Recipes, Vintage Charm, Soulful Memories. This recipe will also make a 9-inch round 3-layer cake (which is what she does in the cookbook), but I opted for cupcakes for ease of portability and sharing.
