How to Make a Great Strawberry Daiquiri

A finished strawberry daiquiri looks something like this.

This may not be a "great" Strawberry Daiquiri, but it does have to right ingredients to come close. The rum could be the difference. While the recipe calls for 1 1/2 oz. of rum, you can barely taste it in the final mix. Add a little more if your "great" daiquiri needs a stronger rum taste.

Things You'll Need

• Blender
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1 1/2oz. Rum
• 1/4 cup Strawberry Daiquiri mix
• 1/2 oz. Lime juice
• 3 tbsp. Strawberry syrup

Instructions

1. First place 1/2 cup strawberries and 1 cup of crushed ice in the blender.

2. Add the 1 1/2 oz rum, 1/4 cup of the Strawberry Daiquiri mix, 3 tbsp. of strawberry syrup and 1/2 oz. of lime juice.

3. Blend until smooth, or until there is no more crunching sound from the ice.

4. Pour the drink into a glass. If you like, top the drink with whipped cream and garnish the glass with a strawberry.

Tips & Warnings

• Thaw frozen strawberries for at least 1 hour in room temperature before using them in the blender.
