Poker Cocktail

If you make this drink for yourself, you're in good hands, like this high strait. Rum Martinis are not unusual, but they often rely on very dry white rums and dry vermouth. This one gives you more wiggle room.

I used a mix of white rums that I like to give the drink more flavor. Bacardi is the dry one, but Buzzard Point from District Distilling Co. gave the drink a funky sugar flavor that was very interesting. Do this when you want to sip something with taste.

• 3 oz. light rum (Bacardi and Buzzard Point used)
• 1 oz. sweet vermouth

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
