Can a simple ingredient swap finally perfect the elusive Cuban Dream cocktail?
In short: After a disappointing first attempt, this video revisits the Cuban Dream cocktail to test if switching to a specific French dry vermouth improves the balance of rum and Benedictine.
The original attempt at the Cuban Dream failed to impress when using a local white vermouth from Quebec. In this second effort, the recipe is adjusted by substituting Martini Dry French White Vermouth to see if it creates a more harmonious blend with the Benedictine and the chosen rums.
The process involves mixing the new vermouth with Benedictine, Havana Club, and Diplomatico rum. By comparing the new version against the previous iteration, the experiment aims to determine if the French vermouth is the missing link required to elevate the drink's profile.
