Ingredients

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

Instructions

Puree frozen strawberries, lime juice, ice cubes, sugar, and rum in a blender until smooth and slushy.
Divide the mixture between two serving glasses. If layering with ice cream, fill both glasses about ⅓ full. Add a scoop of ice cream, and pour in another layer of strawberry daiquiri. Add another scoop of ice cream and the rest of the daiquiri mix.
Garnish with a strawberry and lime wedge, and enjoy.

Notes

Fresh strawberries also work great as the ice will give daiquiris the traditional slushy texture.
Superfine sugar will dissolve better in the blender. Or you can use ¼ cup of simple syrup instead of the sugar.
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.
Customize this drink with more fruit, more or less ice, and more or less sugar. Adding basil or mint provides a delicious flavor twist.
