Virgin Strawberry Lavender Daiquiri

Today is National Daiquiri Day! This drink is associated with sunshine, the beach, and everything summer has to offer. A super simple drink that is rum based with citrus (usually lime) and sugar. And who doesn’t love a refreshing strawberry daiquiri?

Here’s one that is alcohol free and adds a little lavender twist. Enjoy!

The daiquiri was created in 1898 by Jennings Cox. During the Spanish-American war, miners in Cuba would meet at the Venus bar after a long day of work. One day Mr. Cox went behind the bar and mixed up some Bacardi, lime juice and sugar. He named his concoction after the town they were in – Daiquiri.

Add the lime, salt, simple syrup and  water to a blender with 1/2 the strawberries.

Process until it’s smooth.

Add the remaining strawberries and rum extract and process again. It will be like an icee drink.

Pour into glasses and garnish with a mint sprig and lavender stem. (Use only culinary lavender. Do not use craft store flowers).

Delicious – and you can have more than one!
