Strawberry Daiquiri is a sweet, fruity frozen (or shaken) cocktail made with rum, strawberries, lime, and sugar. It’s easy to make at home and tastes best when strawberries are fresh or properly frozen.
🍓 Classic Strawberry Daiquiri (Blended)
Ingredients (1–2 servings)
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 2 oz (60 ml) white rum
- 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1–2 tbsp sugar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup ice (skip if using frozen strawberries)
- Optional: a splash of orange liqueur (like triple sec) for extra depth
🍹 Instructions
1. Prepare the fruit
If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. Frozen strawberries can go straight into the blender.
2. Add ingredients to blender
Add strawberries, rum, lime juice, sugar/syrup, and ice.
3. Blend
Blend on high until smooth and slushy. If it’s too thick, add a small splash of water or lime juice. If too thin, add more ice or frozen strawberries.
4. Taste and adjust
- Too sour → add a bit more sugar/syrup
- Too sweet → add more lime juice
- Too strong → add more ice or strawberries
5. Serve
Pour into a chilled glass (classic coupe or hurricane glass works well).
🍓 Optional Garnishes
- Fresh strawberry on the rim
- Lime wheel
- Sugar rim (dip glass rim in lime juice, then sugar)
- Mint sprig for aroma
🔥 Tips for best results
- Frozen strawberries give a thicker, more “restaurant-style” texture
- Use fresh lime juice (bottled juice tastes flatter)
- White rum keeps the flavor clean; dark rum changes the taste profile
- For a stronger drink, increase rum slightly—but balance with lime
If you want, I can also give you a non-alcoholic virgin strawberry daiquiri, or a restaurant-style premium version.
