Arnold Hammer

This is my alcoholic twist on an Arnold Palmer (one of my favorite beverages) that I actually stumbled upon out of a mix of desperation, frustration, and experimentation. I was at a party that had Red Dog (shittiest beer ever? Yes) and cheap, shitty vodka. Now, if either the beer or the vodka had been of high grade, I would have consumed one or the other, straight. But they were both shitty (as elucidated previously), so me and [Egypt] experimented with what there was in the house: lemonade mix, Arizona Iced Tea, and water.
This is the recipe, as far as i remember it:

1.5 parts Vodka
1 pt. Lemonade (from mix, pre-made, or fresh - if you're so inclined - it doesn't fucking matter)
1 pt. Iced tea.
Lemon Wedge

Shaken or stirred (does it look like I give a fuck?), and pour into a cup. Any kind of cup, and I guess you can put ice in it if you want, but I just don't care.
We used kiwi strawberry iced tea (simply because that was what was available) but it should work with any SWEET tea. I mean, if you like unsweetened iced tea, you know... to each his own, but I think the shit's gross.
Also, let it be noted that I didn't actually have any lemon wedges, but I'm willing to bet that it would've been even better with one.

Anyways, you can add extra lemon juice (if you want it a little more bitter) or a couple of scoops of sugar (if you want it sweeter).

If this already exists, well fuck whoever invented it, my version's probably better anyways.
