With summer coming we all want to have some lazy days sitting out back enjoying the weather. Here is a delicious sipper filled with fresh fruit and a little alcohol too!! It took me a couple of tries (oh darn) to perfect it but I think I got it down. You can keep the simple syrup in the fridge for up to three months, so you can enjoy this drink all summer long.
Serves 2.
2 oz. white rum
1/2 oz. triple sec
3/4 cup mixed sliced strawberries and pineapple chunks
1 cup ice
1 oz. simple syrup (1 cup water and 1 cup sugar needed)
1 oz. lime juice, fresh or bottled
For the simple syrup mix one cup sugar and one cup water in a saucepan, stir and bring to a boil. Once sugar is dissolved remove from heat. Refrigerate until cold.
In a blender place all ingredients and blend until completely liquefied on the ice crush selection of your blender. Serve in a daiquiri glass topped with a cube of pineapple and a strawberry on a skewer. Stick in a straw and find a nice chair outdoors to relax in.
Around this time of year, I begin craving fruity cocktails. Looks pretty and tasty!
So do I. It is really good!
Love this … you know how to get a girl … strawberries and booze!! Great pictures!
Thanks, I could go for another one now on this beautiful day!!!
Oh I love this drink. I used to love these once upon a time. Time to start drinking them again!
They were really good with fresh sweet pineapple and strawberries. Your produce in the south would be even better.
Can’t wait for the weather to co-operate so I can indulge in one of these and a lemon drop
This is a new passion. I love making cocktails…….so fun!!!
This looks so refreshing for a backyard party or just sitting on the porch on a relaxing day. Thanks for sharing!

Well that was quite yummy! I think I will strain out the strawberry seeds next time though.
and I used pineapple juice instead of fresh pineapple. That would make it easier to strain out the seeds.
