Strawberry Daiquiri Ingredients
- White Rum – The base for all strawberry daiquiri recipes, be sure to use a high-quality version (or at least your favorite) as the flavor really comes through.
- Simple Syrup – You can buy this premade or make your own using the instructions down below.
- Frozen Berries – Either whole or sliced will work, but you may find it easier to blend slices.
- Lime Juice – Always use freshly squeezed and not bottled. Keep citrus at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds to get the most juice out of it.
How To Make Strawberry Daiquiri
Step One: Add everything to the blender and give it a whirl.
Step Two: Pour into cocktail glasses — hurricane or margarita styles work best —and serve with a twist of lime or fresh berries for garnish!
Pro Tip
If you don’t have a strong blender, I highly recommend using crushed ice instead of cubes. Use the crush setting on your ice maker or place cubes in a Ziploc bag and smash them with a rolling pin.
How do you make strawberry daiquiri recipes non-alcoholic?
If you need to make a virgin strawberry daiquiri, all you need to do is leave out the rum!
If it seems too thick, add a little extra lime juice or use less ice.
Frozen Cocktail Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Add liquids first. This helps everything to blend evenly, and the solids won’t get stuck in the blades.
- Start on low. Work your way up in speed so the strawberry daiquiri ingredients don’t splash onto the sides and lid.
- Don’t over-blend! The longer it runs, the more watery the texture will become. Stop as soon as the ingredients are combined and have an icy consistency.
- Want to rim the glasses? Run a wedge of lime along the edge of each glass, then flip it upside down and dip into sugar.
For a colorful addition, use sanding sugar that’s found in the baking aisle with the sprinkles. - Create a tropical twist. I have another strawberry daiquiri recipe that replaces half of the white rum with Malibu and triple sec instead.
The addition of coconut and orange flavors makes the drink extra delicious!
