Ingredients
| 6 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries |
| 1 6-ounce container frozen limeade concentrate |
| 3/4 cup light rum or unsweetened pineapple juice |
| 1 16-ounce bottle lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled |
| 2 cups ice cubes |
| Fresh strawberries (optional) |
Preparation
| 1. If using fresh strawberries, remove stems and caps. For frozen strawberries, thaw the berries after measuring; do not drain. |
| 2. Place strawberries, half at a time, in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover; blend or process until smooth. Transfer blended berries to a large pitcher. Stir in limeade concentrate and light rum or pineapple juice. Cover; chill until serving time. |
| 3. Just before serving, stir in the lemon-lime carbonated beverage and the ice. If desired, garnish with whole berries. Makes 8 to 12 servings. |
| Make-Ahead Tip: Combine blended berries with concentrate and rum or pineapple juice. Cover and chill up to 4 hours. Add carbonated beverage and ice just before serving. |
