The golfer Arnold Palmer got inspired to add some lemonade to a pitcher of iced tea his wife prepared for lunch just to see if it worked. He liked the result so much he started to bring a thermos of the drink whenever he was out playing golf.

One day in the 1960s Mr Palmer ordered one after a hot day on the golf course in Palm Springs. He was overheard by a woman in the bar that liked the sound of it and wanted to have the same so she simply asked for an Arnold Palmer.

The Beaver glass was designed by Nendo in 2019.
