Another vital bit of knowledge is how to make your loved one's favorite drink. Whenever we go out, my wife will order a strawberry daiquiri whenever the opportunity arises. It is one of her favorites and I had yet to figure out how to make it "just right".
Until this evening.
6-8 frozen strawberries (I used unsweetened)
6 ice cubes
1.5 oz Bacardi rum (the dark stuff)
4 oz Sprite
2 tsp sugar
Fruit to garish if you want
Pulverize ice in a blender then add the rum, strawberries, Sprite and sugar. Blend until smooth. Serve in any glass, or rim a fancy (or plain) glass with sugar for a special touch.
Adjust Sprite for consistancy, adjust strawberries and sugar for sweetness and of course rum for ... potency.
Simple, easy and not too bad. Made my wife smile.
Adjustments:
- Substitute 7UP, Sierra Mist, Lemonade, Limeade or Triple Sec for Sprite.
- I would not recommend using a non-calorie sweetener. I mean c'mon, you're consuming alcohol so you're already breaking a few rules (if you have any)
- Use a more intense rum, such as Myers or a spiced rum to change complexity/flavor
- Use different fruits (peaches, kiwi, bananas or raspberries)
Cheers!
