Here in the south, we love our sweet tea! Mixing it with lemonade to create an Arnold Palmer makes it even better! This summery drink is so simple to make and the perfect compliment to your Labor Day celebrations.
I decided to try a boozy update to this drink by using Mike’s Hard Lemonade. It was delicious! It’s a really easy drink to make and perfect for Summer parties.
Labor Day is a great way to close out Summer. School has already started for most kids, but the Summer heat is usually still around. Especially here in Florida! Getting a day off this time of year is always a treat for me! It’s a lot of fun to be able to relax and spend time with friends before the end of the season.
To help you plan your Labor Day party, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite cookout recipes. Pick a few to come up with the perfect menu for your gathering.
Appetizers
Loaded Buffalo Chicken Dip
Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Goat Cheese Crostinis
Baked Potato Nachos
Main Dish
Honey Bourbon BBQ Ribs
Bacon & Avocado Quinoa Salad
Buffalo & Blue Cheese Stuffed Turkey Burgers
Desserts

And to drink? Grab a party pack of Mike’s Hard Lemonade. You can use any flavor to create these yummy Arnold Palmers, but the original Lemonade flavor is my favorite. Having a variety of flavors is a great way to please everyone.
For the sweet tea, you can buy storebought to save time or make your own!
If you will have kids or other guests who don’t do alcohol at your party, grab a gallon of regular lemonade, too. That way they can make their own classic Arnold Palmer to enjoy.

Paige Allison says
No Mike’s for me these days, although an Arnie Palmer is one of my favorite drinks to order out, as long as they don’t mix sweet tea with lemonade – it has to be unsweet tea or it will seriously give you (me) diabetes!
Jenna Brussee says
I usually opt for unsweet tea or a mix of sweet and unsweet. This combination turned out perfect, though!
Jaelan @ Making Mrs. M says
Yum! Looks like a great Labor Day drink.
Jenna Brussee says
It’s perfect for Labor Day parties!
Amanda Elizabeth says
I swear drinking out of fun straws makes the drink that much more appealing 🙂 Thanks for all these fabulous recipes!
Jenna Brussee says
It definitely does! I keep buying more in the dollar section at Target. I think I have a problem…
Cristina says
I have a confession to make after living in the south… I don’t like sweet tea! It’s just too sweet and thick for me 🙁 I think I’d have to try making some at home. This sounds super delicious though, I might have to do just that so I can try it!
Jenna Brussee says
Ahh I can’t believe it! You should definitely try making it at home. I’ve had it some places where it’s just too sweet, so maybe if you tried a less-sweet version you will like it.
Amanda | Life With Grace says
I am all about this drink! It sounds so yummy and perfect for a backyard BBQ!! I’m wondering if it would be good with the strawberry mikes lemonades?!
Jenna Brussee says
I want to try it with the strawberry! That’s my favorite flavor.
Rachelle @ Beer Girl Cooks says
I love a boozy Arnold Palmer! That’s also a great list of recipes for the upcoming holiday weekend! I’m thinking about some honey bourbon bbq ribs!
Jenna Brussee says
Thanks, Rachelle! Have a great Labor Day. You will love the honey bourbon BBQ ribs recipe.

Ooh Steven would love this! He loves Arnold Palmers! The rest of the recipes you linked to look SO good too.

You should make it for him this holiday weekend! I need to make more myself.
