Comments

I haven't tried this drink, but the original recipe looks a bit different in proportions/ingredients if my translation is correct: 1/2 cocktail glass rum, 1/4 cocktail glass Curacao, 1/4 cocktail glass cognac, 2 dashes Angostura Bitters, 1 teaspoon of sugar, remainder/fill(?) vermouth.

It isn't clear to me from the context of vermouth recipes in the book if this one should be sweet or dry vermouth or how much would be appropriate. The addition of sugar suggests dry vermouth might be the right call since Curacao is rather sweet. I don't know how much vermouth would be appropriate either.
