Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass (optional)
If you want a sugared rim, run the lime wedge around the rim of a chilled coupe or martini glass. Dip the rim into a shallow plate with granulated sugar to coat. Set the glass aside to dry while you make the cocktail.

Hull and measure strawberries
Wash and hull the strawberries. For best texture and sweetness, remove any bruised parts. Measure 1 cup of hulled strawberries (about 6–8 medium berries).
- 3
Combine ingredients
Place the hulled strawberries, light white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup into a blender or a cocktail shaker if using crushed ice. Add 1.5 cups of ice to the blender (use slightly less if you prefer a looser drink).
- 4
Blend
Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and evenly icy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse in 2–3 short bursts. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding an extra 1/4 oz simple syrup or 1/4 oz lime juice as needed.
- 5
Strain (optional)
For an ultra-smooth daiquiri, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup or pitcher, pressing solids with the back of a spoon. Discard seeds and pulp left in the strainer.
- 6
Serve
Pour the blended (and strained, if desired) daiquiri into the prepared chilled glass. Garnish with a strawberry slice or lime wheel on the rim.

Notes
If fresh strawberries are not in season, use frozen strawberries and reduce ice to 1 cup. Adjust rum to your taste — 1.5 oz will be lighter, 2.5 oz stronger. Keep extra simple syrup on hand to sweeten as needed.
