Add the cooled orange simple syrup and blend until smooth. Add the rum, if desired, and blend. Pour into glasses and garnish with reserved strawberries.

• In a medium clean, cold bowl, beat cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar and liqueur until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into strawberry mixture. Chill fool until beginning to set, about 30 minutes.
