Strawberry Daiquiri

Glass: Martini
Served: Straight up
Garnish: Sugar rimmed glass with a fresh strawberry

Equipment

Muddler
Boston glass/shaker
Hawthorn strainer
Fine strainer

Ingredients

35ml White Rum
15ml Strawberry Liquor
5 Fresh Strawberries
25ml Sugar Syrup (or 2tsp caster sugar)
1 fresh lime
10ml Orange juice
4tsp Granulated Sugar

Method

Add a sugar rim to your martini glass by slicing your lime in half and wipe the juice onto the rim of the glass, then out the granulated sugar on a plate and put the glass on top of it, sowly turning the glass.

Put your 4 of your strawberries in to the boston glass and muddle them until they are pulped, then add the 25ml of sugar syrup as well as the rum, strawberry liquor and the orange juice.  Literally only put in a drop of the orange juice!

Add ice and shaker well.  Strain using both the hawthorn strainer and the fine strainer to filter any shards of ice and excess pulp from the strawberries into the rimmed martini glass.

Add a strawberry onto the side of the glass for decoration and your done!
