How to Make a Homemade Strawberry Daiquiri
If not already made, prepare a batch of simple syrup. You can make a large amount of syrup and keep it in your fridge.
For a non-sugar syrup, combine 1/4 cup of monk fruit sweetener and 1/2 cup of 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.
Simple syrup is normally prepared using a 1:1 ratio of refined white sugar to water. In general, monk fruit sweetener is considered a 1:1 replacement for sugar, but in this case, a 1:2 ratio (one part sweetener to two-parts water) works well without being overly sweet.
Place the strawberries, lime juice, rum, and one-quarter cup of simple syrup into a blender and blend until smooth.
Add the ice a little at a time until thoroughly combined. Turn the blender off and remove the 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.
For a mocktail version, replace the rum with 1/4 cup of water.
