Cuban Liberal
Rum mellowed by Italian vermouth and given interest courtesy of a splash of bittersweet liqueur. Don't forgo the orange zest twist

This is pretty similar to the Liberal Cocktail in Jacques Straub’s Manual of Mixed Drinks (1913), albeit that is made with rye whiskey rather than rum.

Many thanks for the heads-up, James. I've added the Liberal to Difford's Guide with a link to the page in "variant" above.
