Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 pound strawberries
Liquids
- 4 ounces rum
- 3 ounces simple syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Remove stems from all strawberries and slice them in half. Set aside half (8 ounces) of the strawberries and freeze them for later use.
- Blend Ingredients: Once the frozen strawberries are ready, combine the fresh strawberries and frozen strawberries in a high-speed blender. Add rum, simple syrup, and lime juice to the blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined, creating a slushy cocktail texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the daiquiri into glasses and garnish with an extra strawberry and/or a lime wedge for a decorative and flavorful touch.
- Optional Non-Alcoholic Version: To make a virgin daiquiri, omit the rum and replace it with 4 ounces of water while blending.
Notes
- This classic strawberry daiquiri highlights intense strawberry flavor combined with a generous amount of rum for a refreshing summer drink.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and substitute with water to maintain the same volume.
- Freezing half the strawberries is key to creating the perfect slushy texture without needing ice.
- You can adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of simple syrup according to your taste preference.
