The orange bitters are key to balancing and adding depth to the equal parts aged rum and sweet vermouth. However, go easy with those dashes or bitter orange...
As I’d run out of orange bitters (and I really like orange taste) I decided to replace them with 1 cl of Picon Amer and 1 cl of Triple Sec.
Ending up with an cocktail that has 4 cl Diplomatico, 4 cl Martini Riserva Spéciale Rubino (for that longer, complex taste) and the said 1 cl of Triple Sec and Picon Amer.
Brought more complexity and depth to the (already great tasting) Palmetto.
