Strawberry Daiquiri →
Every Spring here in the Connecticut River Valley we eagerly await strawberry season. The ruby-red, sweet, succulent berries can be eaten as a healthy snack; they are great in salads or sauces and made into refreshing drinks. This delicious slightly non-traditional daiquiri recipe adds a touch of orange liqueur to balance the lime and add some complexity to the drink.
Makes one good sized daiquiri or two smaller drinks.
Ingredients:
4-6 fresh strawberries or frozen, unsweetened (depending on the size)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1-2 teaspoons sugar (to taste)
2 ounces light rum
1 ounce Triple Sec or other orange flavored liqueur (optional)
½ cup ice
Add all the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Enjoy!
