I typically use Cruzan white or Don Q Cristal for those recipes. They meet the profile and aren't that expensive. Usually in that type of recipe you're layering rums and the white rum is really there as a boost, not to add a lot of flavor on it's own. Save the more specialized white rums (Montanya Platino, Banks, Koloa White, etc.) for a daiquiri when you'll be featuring the rum itself and notice its more subtle characteristics. That being said I don't always take my own advice and I will mix with these types of rums, but in my own recipes. kevin
