Ping Rightpondians: "A Henry"

Throughout Gloucestershire "A Henry" is universally understood in bars
and pubs to mean a drink which is half orange juice and half lemonade,
served as either a pint or a half pint.
On a recent trip to South Devon a walking group of Gloucestershire
folk discovered that this term was unknown there, and we were told by
at least one person that it's an exclusively Gloucestershire usage.
Can any non-Gloucestershire Rightpondians confirm or deny this,
perhaps?

That Scottish usage always struck me as slightly odd, since what's referred
to as "fresh orange" is never freshly squeezed orange juice but the bottled
stuff. Is it to distinguish it from orange squash?

Letting my mind wander -
Might it be jocular rhyming slang from "Martini-Henry", a type of gun.
with the omitted Martini indicating a drink?
Perhaps there was a pub in Gloucestershire which had a regular named
Henry who always ordered a half-and-half orange juice and lemonage
drink. In my experience of regulars in pubs it wouldn't take long before
the bar tenders would ask Henry "Your usual, Henry?". It wouldn't take
much longer for other regulars to ask for "The same as Henry", soon
shortened to just "Henry". Visitors to the pub might pick up the word
and take it to other pubs.
Other speculations are available.

I'd agree with all that: it's known throughout the county but nowhere
else (I doubt the boundaries follow the country boundary exactly mind).
Even Wadworth's introducing "Henry's IPA" hasn't caused the confusion

Wikipedia says it's known as a "Saint Clement's" here, although I've never
heard the term:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Clement%27s_%28cocktail%29
I should clarify that the drink I'm talking about normally consists of
bottled orange juice and fizzy lemonade (which isn't usually lemon-flavoured
in this country). Usually the barkeeper will empty a bottle of orange juice
into a pint glass and fill it up with lemonade from the nozzle.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that R H was claiming "Arnold Palmer" is a
trademark of the Arizona canned tea company, but rather that it's a familiar
term for the beverage.

Hospital for Children here in Orlando.
The Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children is a major children's
hospital. There is also the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies
that's part of the medical center. Winnie was Arnold's first wife.
She died in 1999.
Both hospitals are part of the Orlando Regional Medical Center complex
of hospitals.
Arnold Palmer lives in this area and owns one of the premier US golf
courses - Bay Hill - which has been the site of many major golf
tournaments.
This is a shot of mine of the APCH. The dome is over the lobby of the
hospital.

But is your lemonade lemonade, or is it just lemon-flavored soda water?
(Sprite and 7-Up are the best known varieties in the US)
Lemonade here is properly made with the lever-arm squeezing "machines"

acid. Usually a little pulp to catch the light.

I've called fresh orange and lemonde a "Henry" for the last 20+ years, ever since a friend of mine called it that, and he was from Gloucester.
I have always assumed it was a widespread term that I was just late to catch-on to, didn't realise it was a Gloucestershire only term.

usual drink in a pub lunch after a walking group walk. Very refreshing and
rehydrating. Known also in some of South Worcestershire, but nowhere else.
There are several theories about the origin of the name, none of them
convincing.

either? The other 70s drinks? Campari, Martini and soda, rum and black,
vodka and lime.
I got told off on a date because the barman tried to fob her off with a
Noilly Prat which (he said) is exactly the same as Martini.

A Martini Henry, however, is a rifle, not a cocktail.

Henry VIII is a yam
Henry the 8th a yam a yam
is how the rhyme sounds in some people's pronunciation.

Table since England didn't have any Henries till the Normans.
A Henry in physics, a unit of inductance, is named after an American;
I've idly wondered whether it's a Henri in French.

O'Henry is surprisingly known to some Indians who speak little English.
