John Daly
This is one of the most famous alcoholic cocktails that is named for someone and it comes from a non-alcoholic cocktail that follows a similar naming pattern. Arnold Palmer is the non-alcoholic version and simply relies on equal measures of lemonade and iced tea.
The Arnold Palmer is named for the pro golfer of the same name while, you guessed it, the John Daly cocktail is likewise named for a pro golfer. The drink still relies on lemonade and iced tea, but this time some vodka is added as well.
Some versions of the John Daly cocktail add a little triple sec into the mix too. This makes the flavor profile a little more complex, but it isn’t strictly necessary.
The cocktail wasn’t just named after the man either. John Daly himself regularly consumed this refreshing adult cocktail, which might have helped to make it so popular.
