Tips

Use fresh or frozen strawberries. Frozen strawberries are best for thickening the cocktail and keeping it cold. You can also use fresh strawberries if you wish. You can prepare a shaken strawberry daiquiri this way.
If you want a slushy consistency, use fresh and frozen strawberries together.
If you are using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly before adding them to the drink. Cut off the ends and chop them into small pieces.
For a shaken cocktail, you can use strawberry liqueur instead of fresh strawberries.
Use good quality white rum. Bacardi or Havana Club are perfect for this recipe. You can still use any rum you want.
Put the rum in the freezer the night before to keep the drink cold.
If the drink is too watery, add more ice and stir. If it is too thick, add some liquid.
You can add orange liqueur or ginger liqueur to the drink to give it flavor.
Check the taste. More lemon or lime juice for more tartness; add more simple syrup to sweeten.
Add herbs like basil, mint, and rosemary to the recipe.
Chill the cocktail glasses for 20 minutes so that the drink is cold.
You can also make this cocktail alcohol-free. For this, use apple juice instead of white rum.
