Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 grams) frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) white rum
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
- Optional: 1 tablespoon simple syrup for sweetness
Instructions
- Measure out 2 cups (300 grams) of frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of white rum. Juice the limes until you have 1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh lime juice (about 2 limes). This takes about 5 minutes.
- Add the frozen strawberries, rum, and lime juice to your blender jar. Add simple syrup if you want it sweeter.
- Pulse the ingredients on high for 30 seconds, then blend continuously for about 1 minute or until you get a thick, slushy texture. Adjust consistency by adding a splash of rum or water if too thick, or more frozen strawberries if too thin.
- Stop blending and scrape down the sides. Taste and adjust lime or sweetness if needed, then pulse a few more times to mix.
- Pour into chilled tall glasses, garnish with a strawberry or lime wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use firm frozen strawberries for best texture. Blend in pulses to maintain icy bits and avoid over-blending which can make the drink watery. Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor. Chill glasses before serving to keep the slushie cold longer. Optional simple syrup can be added for extra sweetness.
