Directions
1. In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries with sugar and lime juice. Heat to a simmer and cook for 10 – 15 minutes, until pureed and candied. Collect the strawberry syrup by straining through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing seeds to extract as much liquid as possible.
2. Put a vanilla ice cream scoop into each glass. Pour 1 ounce rum into each glass (optional) and top with the strawberry syrup. Fill up with club soda and garnish with a strawberry slice and grated lime zest. Serve immediately with long straws and spoons.
