In less than a month, it will be valentines and whether you’re single or in a relationship the fact that we’re in a lockdown has me celebrating every holiday, big or small (9th of Feb is national pizza day - guess what I’ll be making!) and why not, I’ve found celebrating events with my household and via zoom has kept me relatively sane this last year. So for valentines, I share with you one of my favourite drinks to be sipping on a beac-...in my living room - a strawberry daiquiri; I’ve also taken the leftover strawberries and dipped them in chocolate - no waste, ultimate enjoyment.  

Ingredients for two servings

1 x Strawberries punnet (500g)

1 x Lime 

Two pint glasses of Ice 

100ml of Rum 

Garnish

Handful of Mint 

Strawberries

Method

STEP 1

This cocktail couldn’t be easier, simply pop the strawberries, lime, ice, and rum into a blender, whizz altogether until smooth. Then divide into two cocktail coupes. 

STEP 2

Rub the mint around the rim of your glasses then place it on top of your drink, finishing off with a slice of lime and strawberry pierced through a cocktail stick and placed on the edge of your glass. 

STEP 3

Enjoy!
