Strawberry Daiquiri Punch

If using fresh strawberries, remove stems and caps. For frozen strawberries, thaw the berries after measuring but do not drain.

Place strawberries, half at a time, in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth.

Transfer blended berries to a large pitcher. Stir in limeade concentrate and light rum or pineapple juice. Cover and chill until serving time.

Just before serving, stir in the lemon-lime carbonated beverage and the ice. If desired, garnish with whole berries.

Make-Ahead Tip: Combine blended berries with concentrate and rum or pineapple juice. Cover and chill for up to 4 hours. Add carbonated beverage and ice just before serving.
