History:
Adapted from a recipe created in January 2021 by Richard Godwin in Bristol, England, this recipe is based on yours truly's 10:3:2 Daiquiri formula.
Review:
A charcoal-filtered light rum works best as more full-bodied rums simply don't sit well with the cardamon. Hit the right balance with the right rum and this delicately cardamon-influenced daiquiri is delicious.
