Nice Daiquiri variation but with Carta Blanca it is somewhat bland, although I added some drops of saline solution. I would change for Havana Club 3yo next time.

I made this with Bacardi Carta Blanca before reading the comments. Bacardi was bland. Rhum Barbancourt 8 was worlds better. Appleton Estate is very finicky for me. Rarely is it fantastic in a drink but, when it is, it's amazing... FYI, I did viciously muddle the mint, to my taste.

The mint adds a refreshing coolness to an otherwise conventional daiquiri - I’m a fan! And Plantation 3 Stars white rum works just fine.

I found this a perfect blend of mint and Bacardi, just having the one I think. Sour but backnotes of sweetness made this a great take on a ‘small’ mojito

I found the mint very overwhelming. Just left me disappointed I couldn't really taste the nice Appleton Estate I put in there. Somewhat surprised by how much this disappointed me.

To be honest, Appleton Estate does not work in this sort of Daiquiri. It needs a much lighter rum to work. I used Havana Club 3, and it worked way better. It was beautifully minty with tartness and acidity, and a tiny wisp of sugar.
