Strawberry Daiquiri Muffins

Juicy, succulent summer strawberries shine in this muffin that boasts all the components of a strawberry daiquiri. The crumb is close-knit yet tender and light thanks to a generous amount of baking powder, while the tart-sweet berries are nicely accented by the subtle brightness of the lime zest. The rum lends a slight boozy bitterness to complement the crunchy sugar topping, which adds an eye-catching pink glaze for the perfect sweet finish.
