Ingredients

3 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup fresh strawberries
6 ounces white rum
3 ounces simple syrup
3 limes juiced
strawberries and lime slices for garnish

Instructions

Add the strawberries, simple syrup, rum, and lime juice to a blender. Then blend on high until smooth. Add more simple syrup if you would like it sweeter. More lime juice if you want it tarter.
If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries and lime slices.

Notes

Don't use ice cubes, as they just water down the flavor. Use frozen berries. I have always found frozen strawberries to be really sweet as growers let them ripen more on the vine before picking.
For the best texture and flavor, use a mixture of frozen and fresh strawberries.
Simple syrup can be made up to 4 weeks in advance.
Store simple syrup in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Use a white rum or light rum like Bacardi. Not a dark or spiced rum.
Mix these as needed, so they are refreshing and frosty.
For best results, use fresh lime juice. So get ready to squeeze those delicious fruits.
Skip the alcohol, add a little Sprite or ginger ale, and make a virgin strawberry daiquiri. The kids will love them.
If you don't have a blender, use a cocktail shaker and muddle the strawberries and simple syrup together. Then strain the mixture into a glass. Add rum, lime juice, and ice. It will not be a frozen cocktail, but it will still be delicious.
