Let’s Get Cooking!
How to Make This Strawberry Daiquiri
Prepare your simple syrup: In a small saucepan, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves completely, which takes about 10 minutes. Let it cool afterward, so it doesn’t melt your ice!
Combine ingredients: In your blender, add the frozen strawberries, fresh strawberries, lime juice, coconut rum, and cooled simple syrup.
Pulse until smooth: Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. If you like your daiquiri a little chunky, feel free to pulse it just a few times!
Taste and adjust: Give it a quick taste. If you need more sweetness, add a little more simple syrup, blend again and you’re good to go!
Serve it up: Pour your lovely daiquiri into chilled glasses. If you’re feeling fancy, add a slice of lime or a fresh strawberry on the rim! You can also top it off with a swirl of whipped cream for a special touch.
Enjoy!: Seriously, sit back and relax… you’ve earned this!
