Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice about 1 lime
  • 1 oz simple syrup or 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup ice if using fresh strawberries
  • Optional: splash of orange liqueur for extra depth
  • Garnish: Fresh strawberries lime wedges, or mint sprig

Instructions

Blend the Ingredients:

  • Add frozen strawberries, rum, lime juice, and simple syrup into a blender.
  • If using fresh strawberries, add 1 cup of ice to thicken.

Blend Until Smooth:

  • Blend on high until fully smooth and slushy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Serve:

  • Pour into chilled cocktail glasses (like margarita or coupe glasses).
  • Garnish with a strawberry or lime wedge on the rim.

Notes

  • Mocktail version: Omit the rum and use lemonade or soda water instead.
  • Fresh vs frozen: Frozen berries create the slushy texture; fresh berries work if ice is added.
  • Stronger cocktail? Add an extra half ounce of rum for more punch.
