Ingredients
 

  • 2 oz White Rum
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz strawberry syrup
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • Crushed ice
  • Lime wheel or strawberry and sugar rim - for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Jigger
  • Highball or Wine Glass

Instructions

  • Chill Glass: Ice up your wine glass to chill.
  • Add Strawberries: Toss 1 cup fresh strawberries into the blender.
  • Add Strawberry Syrup: Add 1 oz strawberry syrup.
  • Add Lime Juice: Measure and add 1 oz lime juice.
  • Add Rum: Pour 2 oz White Rum into the blender.
  • Add Ice: Add a scoop of crushed ice.
  • Blend: Blend the ingredients until smooth.
  • Prepare Glass: Moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, and dip it into sugar.
  • Pour: Pour your blended mixture into your prepared and chilled glass.
  • Garnish: Place a strawberry or a lime wheel on the rim to garnish.

Notes

Substitutes:

  • White Rum: You can use gold rum for a richer flavor if you're out of white rum. I've also tried it with vodka, and it's still delicious, just different.
  • Lime Juice: Lemon juice is a decent substitute but slightly alters the taste.
  • Strawberry syrup: simple syrup will work just fine.

Making a Pitcher of Strawberry Daiquiri:

  • Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of white rum, 8 oz of lime juice, 8 oz of strawberry syrup, and 8 cups of strawberries.
  • Mix: In a large blender, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth.
  • Serve: Pour the mixture into crushed ice-filled highball or wine glasses, garnish, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • White Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum substitute or coconut water for a tropical twist.
  • Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes and follow the original steps for a delightful non-alcoholic Strawberry Daiquiri.

Making it Vegan:

  • Syrup: Ensure your syrup is certified, as some sugars are processed using bone char.
