Ingredients

¼ cup (60ml) white rum
2 cups (250g) frozen strawberries (about a pint)
2 tablespoons (30ml) lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 cups ice cubes
¼ cup (50g) sugar
Ice cream a couple of scoops (optional)

Instructions

Add rum, lime juice, sugar, and frozen strawberries in a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy, then pour enough into two serving glasses to fill them about ⅓ full. Then add a scoop or two of ice cream if desired, and pour in another layer of strawberry daiquiri. Add more ice cream and garnish with a strawberry and lime wedge.
If using fresh strawberries, blend all the ingredients and serve in a glass.

Notes

Frozen strawberries are a good substitute if you don't have fresh ones. Make sure that they are ripe or sweet enough. However, If they aren't quite that ripe yet, you may add a little more sugar to amp up the sweetness.
When adding sugar, use the super fine one, which will dissolve instantly in the blender. If you don't have any, just blend long enough to allow the sugar to dissolve completely.
To adjust the thickness of your frozen daiquiri, you may add as much or as little ice into the blender. For a slushy consistency, you may start by adding 1 cup of ice, then add another ½ cup at a time and pulse to your desired consistency.
You may also adjust the amount of lemon and lime juice for this recipe depending on your preference.
Place a fine strainer over your glass or pitcher as you are straining so as not to include the strawberry chunks and tiny seeds in your drink.
White rum is the perfect choice for a daiquiri as it is sweeter than dark rum, which tends to be rich and mellow. A good sub for a white rum is vodka. Or you may leave it for a virgin version of strawberry daiquiri.
You can customize this drink to your preference. You may add more fruits into it or herbs for an earthy hint to your drink.
Make sure to wash and hull your strawberries properly (removing the green stem) before tossing them into the blender.
