Strawberry Daiquiri Ice
Ingredients
3 cups fresh strawberries sliced
3 tablespoons light rum
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
Swizzle stick or sprig of mint for garnish
Instructions
If using fresh strawberries, spread in one layer on a baking sheet and freeze, uncovered, until frozen solid. Place frozen berries and remaining ingredients into a high performance blender and process until smooth. You may need to let fruit stand 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature to thaw slightly. Serve immediately or store in freezer until 5 to 15 minutes before serving, then place in refrigerator or on counter to soften enough that it can be scooped.
Timesaver Tip: Recipe can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored in freezer. Rum lowers the freezing point of ice, which helps it maintain a smooth texture.
When blending frozen drinks, always put liquid ingredients in the jar first. Follow by adding solid ingredients such as fruit and ice, blend for a few seconds, and enjoy your cool creation.
