This spring cocktail is reminiscent of a boozy Arnold Palmer. For those unfamiliar, Arni was famous for his favorite drink; half sweet tea, half lemonade, over ice. The nice caramel notes from the Golden rum combine with the lemon juice for an uncanny resemblance of the famous drink. We added a tiny amount of the Anisette for fun, because, hey, why not?
