Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 cup ice
• 1 oz. light rum
• 1/2 oz. strawberry schnapps
• 1 tsp. powdered sugar
• 1 oz. lime juice
• 1 oz. strawberries

1. Put ice in a blender.
2. Pour light rum into blender.
3. Pour strawberry schnapps into blender.
4. Put powdered sugar into blender.
5. Pour lime juice into blender.
6. Add strawberries You can use frozen or fresh. I personally prefer fresh.
7. Blend everything until smooth, then pour into a cocktail glass. If you have fresh strawberries, you can garnish the drink with one by cutting a slit from the tip to about the middle and sliding it onto the rum of the glass. You may also garnish it with a wedge of lime.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have some larger pieces of ice that just won't break up in the blender, pour through a strainer into the cocktail glass.
• Make sure your blender can crush ice. Using a blender that isn't intended for ice crushing can burn out the motor or cause injury.
