Daily's Strawberry Mix, 64 oz

Daily's Strawberry Mix is a bar mixer built on strawberry puree, sold in a 64 oz half-gallon bottle that pours roughly sixteen four-ounce servings. It is the same style of mix bars keep behind the counter for blended drinks, and it comes to you as a non-alcoholic mixer.

There are two ways to use it. Blended with ice it makes a thick frozen drink; shaken and poured over ice it stays looser, closer to a cooler. A squeeze of lime pushes it toward margarita territory, while leaving it as is keeps it in daiquiri range. Topped with club soda, lemonade or plain water it serves the whole table, children included, and adults who want a spirit in theirs can add it at the glass.

Shake the bottle well before pouring, since the fruit settles. The half-gallon size suits cookouts, birthdays and anything where you are making several drinks at once.
