Equipment

Cocktail Shaker
Cocktail Strainer
Bar Spoon
Shot Glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole Fresh Strawberries - cut in half - plus more for slicing and garnish
  • 1 oz Simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz Fresh Lime - for freshly squeezed Lime Juice
  • 2 oz Rum - Preferably light rum - I used Bacardi Light Rum
  • Pink Sugar - optional for rimming glasses

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, drop in strawberries and pour in lime juice. Muddle them together until everything is bright red and berries are crushed.
  • Pour in simple syrup and light rum. Fill the container with ice about halfway full. Either stir with a spoon or put the cover on your cocktail shaker and shake to combine until chilled.
  • Rub your shot glasses with a little lime wedge and dip them in pink sanding sugar, if desired. Strain cocktail and divide evenly into shot glasses. Garnish with a strawberry slice and rose petal (if available).

Notes

I divided mine into 3 2oz shots.
