🍹 Ingredients

• 1.5 oz White Rum
• 1 oz Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 oz Simple Syrup
• 1 cup Frozen Strawberries
• ½ cup Ice Cubes
• Garnish: Lime wedge, maraschino cherry

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Add 1.5 oz white rum, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz simple syrup, 1 cup frozen strawberries, and ½ cup ice cubes to a blender.
2. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy.
3. Taste and adjust — add more syrup for sweetness or lime juice for extra tartness.
4. Pour the mixture into a chilled short glass or margarita glass.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge and a maraschino cherry.
6. Serve with a straw and sip immediately while cold and thick.

💡 Tips & Notes

• No simple syrup? Use honey or agave syrup instead.
• For a booze-free version, skip the rum and add a splash of lemonade or soda water.
• Make it tropical by adding a few chunks of frozen mango or pineapple.
• Always use frozen berries for the best texture — fresh ones won’t give that perfect slush.
