Patch's Happy Hour: Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

With temperatures forecast into the 90s this weekend, we decided to hook you up with something to cool you down.

A popular drink in the summer heat, and argued to be Ernest Hemingway's favorite drink, the Daiquiri is typically composed of white rum and fruit.

This recipe for a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri comes from Toren Martin, a frequent patron of the Triple Nines Bar off of Route 1 in Elkridge.

Martin suggests using Sprite but says that any lemon-lime soda will do the trick.

6 cups ice

1/2 cup white sugar

4 ounces frozen strawberries

1/8 cup lime juice

1/2 cup lemon juice

3/4 cup rum

1/4 cup lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

To give the Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri a try:

Pour the ice, sugar and strawberries into a blender.

Add the lime juice, lemon juice, rum and Sprite. Blend until smooth.

Pour into glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.

Enjoy, but beware the brain freeze!
