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.

I love cardamom! I muddled 4 pods instead of 3, and threw in a few extra dashes of cardamom bitters (Scrappy's), but I didn't end up with a strong cardamom taste, more like scented. Next time I might scale back the lime and really go for it on the muddling. This was a great use of the Scrappy's bitters -- they went perfectly!

Delicious indeed! I tried this with 10ml of velvet Falernum and a squeeze of agave syrup instead of the simple syrup. Nice evolution of the daiquiri with a slight medicinal note from combination the spices.
