Sparkling and Refreshing Emerald Palmer

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
emerald Arnold Palmer drink

The kids are back to school, but summer is hardly over. Celebrate with one more picnic, BBQ or deck party. Today’s recipe for sparkling and refreshing emerald palmer is my second entry in the Steviva Blogger Recipe Challenge. It’s my new go-to summer drink which can also be dressed up for any upcoming holiday parties.

Never a fan of green juice you might wonder how I came up with this emerald beauty. Well, I am a huge fan of the drink called an Arnold Palmer. It’s a mix of lemonade and iced tea. I wanted a healthier version that would still quench my thirst, but eliminate all the sugar. While I was at it I thought I could boost the flavor profile and health benefits with fresh cucumbers and mint from my garden and a touch of matcha tea.

The drink gets its sweetness from Nectevia. Nectevia is made from organic agave nectar that is enhanced with stevia. It’s 4x sweeter than sugar, safe for diabetics, Kosher, non-GMO and easily dissolves in liquids. It has a clean refreshing sweetness with no bitter after taste. It’s perfect for sweetening beverages like my Sparkling Emerald Palmer. Cheers!
