Ingredients:

6 c. fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries

1 (6 oz.) container frozen limeade concentrate

3/4 c. light rum or unsweetened pineapple juice

1 (16 oz.) bottle lemon-lime soda, chilled

2 c. ice cubes

Fresh strawberries, optional

 

Directions:

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

 

Place strawberries, half at a time, in a blender container or a 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.

 

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