Strawberry Daiquiri With a Twist

Just playing around tonight, throwing this and that together. This is my version of a strawberry daiquiri, including my "secret ingredient". The strawberries have to be ripe and flavorful, or the flavor will fall flat. Traditional daiquiris are made with clear rum, but I like the sweet richness of dark rum, better. And even though it's not Cuban rum, I love this when made with Cruzan. Mmmmmm!!!
