Comments

This is a good, bordering on very good, cocktail as written. The components all work together, although the ratios might be tweaked depending on what the imbiber is after. I didn't have Cadenhead rum, so used Appleton Estate Signature Jamaican Rum. I used Ahus Aqvavit, and Tremontis Mirto. I could see boosting the Mirto to 1/2 oz or a little more to accentuate its presence, perhaps backing off on the rum or vermouth by the same increment to compensate for volume (the choice of adjustment would depend on the nature of the rum used.)
