Strawberry Daiquiri

 

1 cup (8 oz.) light rum

4 cups (32 oz.) frozen strawberries (if you only have fresh, remove the leaves, hull and chop the berries and add extra ice)

¼ cup (2 oz.) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought; see below for instructions)

½ cup (4 oz.) lime juice

Ice to taste

Directions:

 1: To make simple syrup, bring 1 cup water to a boil and stir in 1 cup sugar until dissolved. Let cool.

 2: Add the rum, strawberries, simple syrup and lime juice to a blender.

 3: Add the ice. Start with a ½ cup and add more later if you want it thicker.

I had a bunch of frozen strawberries in the freezer I wanted to use up. Plant City Strawberries are in the stores now- ❤

Step 4: Pulse the blender on low a few times to warm it up. Blend on high until smooth. Taste it to see if it’s to your liking and adjust rum or ice accordingly.
