The basic recipe for a daiquiri is also similar to grog which sailors drank back in the 1740’s – they probably didn’t drink strawberry grog though! May have helped their scurvy if they had!

strawberry puree

Straight up or if you prefer crushed ice

  1. I’m not a drinker but I do like reading the “recipes”. My son made me “nuclear waste” once (that’s what he called it). It was good but it looked and smelled like windshielf washer fluid! I like your illustrations! 🙂
