Guinness and Harp is called an Arnold Palmer? What weird-ass, golf-obessed part of the world does THAT?
See, this is part of why! Arnold Palmer is iced tea and lemonade. I've never called that a half and half, actually. And is Guiness and Harp not a black and tan?

Ha!
And is Guiness and Harp not a black and tan?
"Black and tan" has unfortunate historical issues -- for some people -- with the British forces sent into Ireland in the (IIRC) 1920s to bust some Irish ass (the forces were nicknamed "Black and Tans").
To avoid that, the drink is often called a half and half.
Perhaps only by (1) drink snobs or (2) people who are Irish or are snobs about Irish matters.
I certainly hope that's Rochambeau.
From Wikipedia:
In this use, roshambo is sometimes spelled ro-sham-bo, as if to represent the three parts of rock, paper, and scissors. The origin of the term "rochambeau" to refer to rock, paper, scissors is obscure.

I thought that was a Black & Tan?

Not everyone calls it that.
What's your Arnold Palmer-ized version of a half and half?

half sweet lemonade, half unsweetened iced tea
It was the standard beverage at the WASPy summer place I worked at in Maine. And has been for a long time. Before any golfer got involved anyways.

I did not know that!

I always assumed that was where the name of the drink came from in the first place.
[edit: But Wikipedia says it's the other way around, which I did not know!]

No, those are different. Black & Tan has Harp, Half & Half has Bass. (Or the other way? I can never remember.)
