# Method:

01 - In a blender, combine strawberries, sugar, lime juice, rum, and water. Blend until completely smooth.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like you're sipping a proper daiquiri but in frozen, portable form that won't leave condensation rings on the furniture.
  • The chunks of fresh fruit give each bite texture and a pop of brightness that keeps things interesting.
  • Making a batch ahead means you can actually relax at your own party instead of playing bartender.
  • Kids can enjoy a non-alcoholic version while adults get the full tropical experience.
02 -
  • Don't use frozen fruit from the grocery store—it releases water as it thaws and dilutes the flavor, so commit to fresh chunks or accept a weaker final taste.
  • The alcohol content keeps the mixture from freezing rock-solid like water would, so if your popsicles come out slightly soft, that's completely normal and actually preferable to ice-hard.
03 -
  • If your popsicle molds are the flimsy plastic kind, place them in a tall glass or container before filling to prevent leaks and wobbling—this small move saves headaches.
  • Save leftover fresh fruit chunks in an airtight container and blend them into smoothies the next morning instead of letting them go to waste.
