History

Orange bitters are key to balancing equal parts aged rum and sweet vermouth. Use sparingly to avoid overpowering the complex cocktail.

This recipe is derived from Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book, published in 1930. "PALMETTO COCKTAIL. 2 Dash Orange Bitters. ½ Italian Vermouth. ½ St. Croix Rum. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass."
