Equipment
- High-speed blender
- Small skillet
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Citrus juicer
- Cutting board and knife
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
Sugar-Free Simple Syrup:
- ¼ cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
- ½ cup water
For the Daiquiri:
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries hulled
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 4 oz light rum
- 6-8 large ice cubes
- Garnish: lime wheels and/or fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the simple syrup by combining the monkfruit sweetener and water in a small skillet. Stir to combine and heat until the sweetener dissolves completely, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Place the strawberries, lime juice, rum, and one-quarter cup simple syrup into a blender and blend until smooth.
- While the blender is still running, add the ice a little at a time until thoroughly combined. Turn blender off and remove lid. Taste and add additional simple syrup, if desired, and blend for another 30 seconds to combine.
- To serve, pour into glasses and serve immediately garnished with lime wheels and/or whole strawberries. Enjoy!
Notes
- Monkfruit simple syrup uses a 1:2 ratio of sweetener to water for balanced sweetness without an artificial aftertaste.
- Adjust simple syrup to taste depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- For a thicker texture, add more ice; for a smoother pourable consistency, reduce ice slightly.
- For the mocktail version, replace rum with ¼ cup water and blend as directed.
- Use fully ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
