It’s surprising how just a dash or two of orange bitters transforms this into a completely different cocktail—the Palmetto. Without the bitters, it’s much easier to notice how the flavours in the vermouth complement the rum. I enjoyed this one more than I expected!

This has nice balance and plenty of flavour but perhaps lacks a bit in complexity. We think it's a good option as a late night cocktail when one has run out of cigars and isn't in the mood for anything too deep and serious. Add just a drop of chocolate bitters if you wish.
