Arnold Palmer Half and Half - Big Can, 22 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

Overview AriZona’s Arnold Palmer Half & Half is a tribute to golf legend Arnold Palmer, who popularized the simple yet refreshing combination of iced tea and lemonade. AriZona Beverage Company took that blend and turned it into a massively popular ready-to-drink beverage, available in iconic tall cans, bottles, and now multi-packs. It occupies a unique niche between soda and juice: less sweet than most sodas, more flavorful than plain iced tea. For many, it’s a nostalgic and affordable drink—often found in convenience stores, vending machines, and gas stations. Packaging & Branding: 9/10 Design: The large 23 fl. oz. tallboy can is instantly recognizable with a portrait of Arnold Palmer, golf visuals, and a black, yellow, and silver theme. Aesthetic: Retro yet athletic. It evokes summer, sports, and Americana. Practicality: The can size is generous and often sold for $0.99 (a key draw). It’s resealable in bottle versions but not the can. Taste & Flavor Profile: 8.5/10 Balance: The blend between tea and lemonade is surprisingly harmonious. Neither element dominates. The tea adds depth and slight bitterness, while the lemonade brings tang and sweetness. Sweetness: The original is moderately sweet—not syrupy like soda, but definitely on the sweet side. The Lite version tones this down noticeably and has only 50 calories per serving (vs. ~130 in the original). Acidity: The lemonade gives it a crisp, citrusy bite without being overpowering or sour. Mouthfeel: Smooth and light with no carbonation. It’s more hydrating than most sugary drinks. Nutrition & Ingredients: 6.5/10 Original Version: Calories: ~130 per can Sugar: ~34g (a lot) Contains: high fructose corn syrup, black tea extract, natural flavors, lemon juice concentrate Lite Version: Calories: 50 per can Sugar: ~13g Uses artificial sweeteners (sucralose and acesulfame potassium) While the flavor is great, the original version is heavy on sugar, and neither version is made with real brewed tea—it’s reconstituted from tea powder/extract. Don’t expect antioxidants or health benefits. The Lite version is favored by people watching their sugar intake while still wanting the signature flavor. The Spiked Arnold Palmer (with alcohol) is a different experience altogether but retains the core flavor. Performance in Different Settings: 9/10 Best Served: Ice-cold, ideally straight from the fridge or poured over ice. Occasions: Summer days, picnics, beach trips, after sports, casual sipping. It pairs well with barbecued foods or salty snacks. Pros Unique and iconic flavor Affordable (~$1 per 23 oz. can) Widely available Nostalgic branding with a clean taste Good balance of tartness and sweetness Cons High sugar content in original Tea is not fresh-brewed (extracts used) Artificial sweeteners in Lite version may bother some Can be overly sweet for some palates Final Verdict: 8.5/10 AriZona Arnold Palmer Half & Half is a refreshing, affordable, and well-balanced drink that lives up to its legacy. While not the healthiest choice due to sugar content and lack of real brewed tea, its taste and nostalgic charm make it a classic. It's ideal for casual enjoyment, especially on warm days, and offers enough variety to suit most preferences. If you’re into lemony iced tea that doesn’t overwhelm with bitterness or sugar (especially the Lite version), this beverage is an excellent go-to.

I absolutely love this this. It has that classic, refreshing taste with just the right balance of sweetness, smooth and never overpowering. The real standout here is the value. These 22oz big cans are huge, and getting a pack of 12 for this price is an incredible deal compared to buying single bottles elsewhere. It is one of those reliable drinks that offers a lot of product for very little money without sacrificing flavor. If you want a great tasting tea that maximizes your budget, this pack is a no brainer.

I saw a review and decided to try it. Very light in flavor and not too sweet. The sugar content is actually very high for something you barely taste it in. The blueberry flavor is also light. Good and may purchase.

Anything Amazon sells is Awesome, It's a good drink but not alot of flavor. I switched my subscription to another flavor.

Quality is great for price. Sugar content I didn’t find too high. Doesn’t make you bounce off walls so your energy level is not affected by it. Calorie count isn’t bad either. Overall drink quality is great and flavor is delicious.

In the past, I drank diet soda when thirsty. My doctor was horrified by the amount of artificial sweeteners I consumed on a daily basis. She advised me to stop this and at least cut down on them. I looked around to find another beverage that I would be satisfied with. When I bought Arnold Palmer light, I was pleased with the flavor, its thirst quenching ability, and reduced sugar content as well as its calorie count. Today I allow myself one diet soda daily and enjoy drinking Arizona Arnold Palmer light at other times.

I got this for my husband when they stopped carrying it at all the stores in our area. He was thrilled to find out he can still get them, and I’m the price I paid for them is reasonable. They’ve got a nice light fruity flavor, about what you’d expect from the description. He LOVES them, and he’s picky about his drinks—before he found these he would only drink the Rx energy teas, and he has been pleasantly surprised to find another flavor he enjoys. He drinks them every day so they must be good!

I got a case to try out but I’d rather just go to the store, the cans were not cleaned properly and you could tell a can or two had possibly been spilt on with old tea on the pop tab or around the can. The taste is more bland than the cans I find literally anywhere else. It’s almost like these are reject teas and they’re horrible and not worth saving a couple cents and having it on my doorstep
