The Third Down Arnold Palmer is a tea-forward game-day cocktail inspired by the classic half-tea, half-lemon refreshment, elevated with spirits and clean citrus balance. Brewed black tea provides structure and depth, while LAVA Lemon Juice and LAVA Agave Nectar keep the drink bright and approachable. It’s smooth, refreshing, and designed to hold up from kickoff through the final drive.
