Palmetto Cocktail - revisited

A fellow mixologist suggested we try this cocktail - a 'Palmetto Cocktail', with a dark rum. 
Last night we used a light rum and Underhill-Lounge was correct - the darker rum adds a  smoothness to the taste. 

The recipe (page no. 133 in the Bartender's Guide):

1 1/2 oz Rum (Bacardi Select)
1 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
2 dashes bitters

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.


We mixed the second cocktail with Myers Jamaican Rum. It was tastier than the Porto Rican Bacardi!

And it was another beautiful day in South Louisiana.
