Well my goto Vermouth is "Dolin Sweet Rouge Vermouth"
it is what I use for a Manhattan and other classic cocktails that call for sweet Vermouth
price wise it is in the middle & worth every penny.

But you will loose the premium flavor in a Tiki cocktail once it mixes with lime etc.
so a basic less expensive Vermouth should do just fine for that use, like Martini & Rossi or Cinzano Rosso

"Carpano Antica Formula" is the original & high end option for a Vermouth, but would be wasted in Tiki Cocktails.
FYI for folks not used to having Vermouth in their home bars, once open, always refrigerate
& remember it has a short shelf life, much like wine.
