Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz light rum
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Juice of 1 lime
- Sliced lime, for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and rinse fresh strawberries; chop them finely.
- Place fresh and frozen strawberries into a blender.
- Add light rum, granulated sugar, and lime juice to the blender.
- Blend on high until smooth or desired consistency is reached.
- Taste the mixture and add more sugar if needed, blending lightly to combine.

- Pour the cocktail into glasses over ice if desired.
- Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a whole strawberry on the rim.

- Avoid over-blending to maintain some fruity texture.
- Chill glassware beforehand for a more refreshing experience.
- Make larger batches without rum for a kid-friendly version and add rum before serving.
- Leftover cocktail should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and consumed within 24 hours.
