Notes
- If you don’t want to wait to freeze fresh strawberries, use 4 ounces frozen strawberries and 4 ounces fresh instead.
- Adjust the amount of rum based on your preference; if reducing rum, you may need to add water depending on your blender’s consistency needs.
- Simple syrup sweetness can be modified depending on how sweet your strawberries are and your taste preference.
- Choose any rum you like: white rum, coconut rum, spiced rum, or dark rum will all work well in this recipe.
