I Created a New Drink!

I unknowingly created a new drink. 

I’m sitting at dinner with two people; one was drinking pink lemonade, one was drinking iced tea, and I was having a root beer. 

When I got a refill, I pushed the dregs of my root beer off to the side. One of my dining companions, forgetting what it was, poured it into his iced tea, thinking it was the dregs of his iced tea. 

Aware that adding lemonade and iced tea together create an Arnold Palmer, I believe we had unwittingly and accidentally created a new drink: the Tiger Woods. 

I call it that, not because root beer is brown, but just because he was the only famous golfer I could think of. Or that I really know. OK, maybe Jack Nicklaus, but I don’t really know Jack Nicklaus. Is he still alive?

So a Tiger Woods it is!
