A great way to figure out whether bay leaf has a flavor would be to take the subway to the East Village and order this daiquiri at Bar Kabawa:
Menu listing "Bay leaf daiquiri" at bar kabawa along with their other five specialty daiquiri variants Recipe from Punch mag for the daiquiri although a key part is muddling 8 grams of bay leaves in liquid nitrogen and idk if that's feasible for most of you It's a white rum base btw
