Ingredient Notes
Rum: I suggest using a midlevel white rum. For this recipe, I used Bacardi. Captain Morgan is also great! If you're not a fan of rum, you could use vodka instead.
Strawberries: Fresh strawberries bring the best flavor to this recipe. Take advantage of them when they're in season in late spring/early summer. If you don't have access to fresh berries, frozen will work fine too.
Lime Juice: Use fresh lime juice for the perfect flavor! I find it has more flavor and less acid than the little green bottles.
Tips
Consistency: If you want a thicker drink use less ice. If you prefer a more "slushy" cocktail you may end up needing the whole 2 cups of ice.
Juice Limes: Microwave your lime and roll it on the counter to get the most juice possible.
