Strawberry Daiquiri Punch

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)


Directions
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.
