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 is perfect when I'm in the mood for rum but don't feel like going full tiki. Using Appleton Estate 12 Year Old, maple syrup, and just a few drops of Elemakule Tiki Bitters to add a touch of spice—it's easy to make and very, very easy to drink. Will definitely be trying it again with a few other rum/bitters combinations!
