Next to a classic daiquiri Strawberry Daiquiri was one of the first cocktails I have tried, but it does not come close to this decadent and satisfying riff. Fruity, cool, full of rum and indulgent, a cocktail ready to satisfy both drink and dessert cravings.

Unsurprisingly, base of the cocktail is lightly aged blended rum with tasty notes of sugar cane, honey, vanilla and citrus, laying a solid and delicious foundation. A couple of strawberries provide the well-balanced sweet and tart fruitiness making this drink into what it is. Addition of fresh lime juice livens the cocktail up and gives it a satisfyingly tart kick. A touch of rich simple syrup balances the drink out taming the lime juice and reinforcing the delicious tones of rum and strawberries. Last but not least, sweetened heavy cream imparts decadent texture lifting the cocktail up to the whole new level.

All in all, Strawberry Daiquiri is a relatively simple, but remarkably effective way to reinvent and improve fruity rum filled libation. Perfect cocktail to end the summer with.
