Simple Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

Hello again! Spring break just finished for me, so I’m now back in the game and bringing out some more recipes. So over break I was cooking and baking (eggs benedict was one, foil wrapped salmon was another, and many others), but today I decided to just give you a simple recipe for my version of a strawberry daiquiri! I do not drink, so I enjoy experimenting with different virgin cocktail recipes, and while this version of the daiquiri is a bit closer to a smoothie, it is really simple and delicious! And feel free to add as much rum as you’d like to this recipe.

Ingredients – serves 2

·      1 regular-sized carton of strawberries (this amount really depends on you depending on how tall your glasses are, and as always never follow a recipe to the last detail; make it up on your own!)

·      2-3 tbsp lime juice

·      2-3 tbsp sugar

Combine all the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Take a couple of cocktail glasses, dip the rim in a bit of water, and stick the glass in a plate of sugar (you now have a sugar-rimmed glass!). Put a cut in a fresh strawberry, add it to the rim of the glass, pour the drink in, and enjoy!

See, simple enough, right? A lot of cocktails are made simply by adding fruit and a few other simple flavor additives, such as sugar, lime, lemon, and various types of milk. Never be afraid to experiment with a few ingredients; failure is the best way to be successful! ^_^
