Strawberry Daiquiri

A strawberry daiquiri is a fruity rum cocktail with a sweet, sugared rim and a cap of whipped cream. Its strength is the balance: a full ounce of lime juice keeps the strawberries and schnapps from tipping into candy territory, while light rum stays out of the way. Frozen berries work as well as fresh, so you can make it any time of year. Shake it, or blend it for a smoother texture.
Instructions
Dip the rim of your glass in strawberry juice, then press it into a plate of sugar so a even band of sugar sticks all the way around.
Combine the rum, strawberry schnapps, lime juice, powdered sugar, strawberries and crushed ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until everything is well mixed and the shaker feels cold.
Pour the drink into the sugar-rimmed glass, taking care not to wash off the rim.
Top with a spoonful of whipped cream and set a whole fresh strawberry on top. Serve right away.
Make it personal.
