Strawberries
- 1 pound strawberries
Liquids
- 4 ounces rum
- 3 ounces simple syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Remove stems from the strawberries and slice them in half. Freeze half of the berries (8 ounces) for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Blend the Cocktail: Add the fresh berries and frozen berries to the jar of a high-speed blender. Pour in the rum, simple syrup, and lime juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended mixture into serving glasses. Garnish each with an extra strawberry and/or a slice of lime for a decorative touch.
- Optional Nonalcoholic Version: To make a nonalcoholic daiquiri, omit the rum and replace it with 4 ounces of water before blending.
Notes
- If you don’t want to wait for berries to freeze, use 4 ounces of frozen strawberries and 4 ounces of fresh strawberries instead.
- You can adjust the amount of rum to your preference; if you use less rum, add some water to help with blending.
- Adjust simple syrup to taste depending on how sweet your strawberries are.
- For rum, white rum or coconut rum are recommended, but spiced or dark rum works well too.
