Pro Tips:
✔ For Richer Flavor: Use dark rum (like Havana Club 7) for a deeper, caramelized note.
✔ No Fraise Liqueur? Substitute with 10 ml strawberry syrup + 5 ml vodka.
✔ Frozen Strawberries: Replace purée with 5-6 frozen berries for a thicker texture.
Serving Suggestion:
Pair with spicy dishes like ceviche or enjoy as a poolside refresher.
