Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiri

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled

02 - 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

→ Liquids

03 - 1 cup white rum

04 - 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, approximately 4 limes

05 - 1/2 cup simple syrup

06 - 1/2 cup water

→ Optional

07 - 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey for additional sweetness

# How to Make It:

01 - In a blender, combine strawberries, pineapple, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and water. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add additional sweetener if desired.

02 - Pour the blended mixture evenly into 6 resealable freezer-safe pouches or sturdy zip-top bags, distributing approximately 2/3 cup per pouch. Seal tightly, pressing out excess air.

03 - Lay the pouches flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely solid.

04 - Remove a pouch from the freezer. Gently knead or run under warm water for a few seconds to soften. Pour into a glass or serve directly from the pouch with a straw.
