Okay, so I saw this “Ryan Palmer Drink” thing trending, and honestly, I was curious. I mean, what even is it? It sounded refreshing, so I figured, why not give it a shot? I decided to make one myself, documenting the whole chaotic process.
The Hunt for Ingredients
First things first, I needed to figure out what goes into this mysterious concoction. After a bit of digging around online (thank you, internet!), I found the basic recipe. Seems simple enough:
- Lemonade: Got a big jug of the pre-made stuff. I’m not about to squeeze a million lemons.
- Iced Tea: Easy peasy. Brewed a big batch, strong, just how I like it. Then, stuck it in the fridge to chill.
- Optional: Sweetener.
- Optional: Lemon for garnish. I’m fancy like that.
Mixing It Up (Literally)
With my ingredients prepped and ready, it was time for the main event. I grabbed a tall glass and got down to business. It’s literally just combining the two main ingredients. No special tools or bartender skills required – my kind of drink!
I filled my glass, added a slice of lemon to be fancy.
The Taste Test
Alright, drumroll please… It’s actually pretty good! It’s that perfect balance of tart and slightly sweet, super refreshing, especially on a hot day. It’s basic, yeah, but sometimes basic is exactly what you need. I can see why people like this Palmer guy made a whole drink about this.
I added a bit of extra sugar, because, well, I like things sweet. Experimenting is half the fun, right?

So, there you have it – my Ryan Palmer Drink adventure. It was way easier than I expected, and the result was delicious. Definitely adding this one to my summer drink rotation.
