Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
A frosty, sweet, and fruity blended cocktail made with rum, strawberries, and lime. It's essentially a vacation in a glass, perfect for cooling off during hot summer days or bringing a tropical vibe to any gathering.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries for the most intense flavor, freeze fresh berries at peak ripeness
- 2 ounces white rum substitute with coconut water for a non-alcoholic version
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice approximately half a lime
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey adjust to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes
- fresh strawberry and lime slice for garnish
Instructions
- Ensure your blender is completely dry before adding ingredients. Moisture can dilute your daiquiri and affect the perfect slushy texture.
- Place the frozen strawberries and ice cubes in the blender.
- Pour in the rum, lime juice, and simple syrup or honey on top of the frozen components.
- Blend on high speed for approximately 30-45 seconds until smooth. The perfect daiquiri should have a slushy consistency that's thick enough to hold a straw upright but still pourable.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry and lime slice.
Notes
For an Instagram-worthy presentation, run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip in sugar for a beautiful crystalline edge.
The secret to an exceptional daiquiri lies in the quality of your strawberries. When possible, opt for in-season berries that you've frozen yourself rather than commercially frozen options.
Create a lighter version by substituting the simple syrup with monk fruit sweetener or stevia to reduce sugar content.
