Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri - Classic!

Makes 4 to 6 drinks

1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
Ice cubes, as needed*

In a blender combine the rum, strawberries, fresh squeezed lime juice and one cup of ice.

Pulse to evenly blend.

*Depending how thick you want your frozen daiquiri you can add as much or as little ice as desired. Start with one cup. Then if you prefer it a little more slushy add more ice, a 1/2 cup at a time and pulse to blend to your desired consistency.

Pour all ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass filled with ice cubes.
