Combine all ingredients (except for the cherry) in an your blender. Blend at a low speed for five seconds (using pulse if you have that feature on your blender), then blend at a high speed until firm. Pour contents into a tall fancy glass and put the cherry on top then serve right away.

There's a great debate whether the lime juice ruins this drink. Some people insist that Daiquiri's require lime to tame the sweetness, some people prefer it without. 1 1/2 ounces may be too much for you, so play with it till you come up with a good blend for you.
