A classic two-ingredient cocktail: three parts light rum to one part dry vermouth, stirred over cracked ice and strained into a chilled glass with a black olive. Think of it as a rum martini — the dry vermouth adds herbal complexity to the rum's sweetness, and the olive garnish pushes it firmly into savory territory.

- 1/2 oz dry vermouth
Instructions
- Pour the light rum and vermouth into a mixing glass half-filled with cracked ice.
- Stir well.
