Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe
The Ingredients:
- 1 ½ - 2 ounces of white rum (how strong do you like it, quality of rum)
- ½ ounce of Fresh Lime Juice (use fresh limes only)
- ¼ ounce of simple syrup
- 6-8 medium sized Fresh Strawberries (yes, the real thing only please)
- ice (enough to fill your shaker, and chill your glass)
The Preparation:
- Chill the glass you intend to serve by filling it with ice water and set it aside.
- Clean and hull the strawberries and drop them into your cocktail shaker.
- Muddle the strawberries crushing them to release all the juices.
- Now, add the white rum, fresh lime juice and simple syrup.
- Stir these ingredients getting as much of the juice out of the strawberries as you can.
- Next, pack the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for at least 10-15 seconds.
The Finish:
- Empty the ice water from your chilled glass
- Fine strain your fresh Strawberry Daiquiri into a chilled martini glass.
- Many establishments sugar coat the rim of the glass for aesthetics. If you choose to do this you can use a lime wedge to wet the rim or for a super sticking sweet rim use honey instead.
- Instead of pre chilling your glass with ice water, place it in the freezer.
- Substitute agave nectar, liquid sugar free sweetener, or honey sweetener for simple syrup.
