How to Mix A Strawberry Daiquiri Drink

Enjoy a flavorful rum drink, or take out the rum for a cool drink on a hot day.

This tasty drink is a hit in summer while lazing by the pool in the heat of the day. The combination of ice and fruit makes this drink deceptive; the rum still has a kick. If you're serving your family, make a few without the rum for the kids to enjoy. Use fresh or frozen strawberries, or use another fruit that's in season, such as raspberries, when mixing up this drink.
