Strawberry Daiquiri
Summer is on and so is the heat. May is National Strawberry month! What a perfect way to beat the heat than a chilled glass of Strawberry Daiquiri! Strawberry Daiquiri is an excellent cocktail for the warm days of summer. It’s a sweet, a little bit tangy, refreshing, and irresistible drink.
Strawberry Daiquiri is made from either fresh or frozen strawberries. You can make it frozen and/or shaken. I’ll share with you both versions. What’s your preference?
Strawberry Daiquiri is a blended cocktail, served as a boozy, fresh fruit smoothie. All you need is few ingredients: Rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, fresh/frozen strawberries. I like to use white rum but you can use your choice of rum. I use a combination of fresh and frozen strawberries. The ingredients are super simple but yield a super delicious daiquiri especially if the strawberries are sweet and perfectly ripe.
How to Make a Strawberry Daiquiri:
- I like to use fresh strawberries along with frozen ones. This way daiquiri tastes very refreshing. But if there are no strawberries in the season, you can use only frozen ones.
- Using frozen strawberries eliminates the use of ice. Also, frozen strawberries give a beautiful frozen slushie consistency and do not water down the strawberry flavor. I freeze lots of strawberries so that I can use them year-round.
- Simple syrup is very easy to make. You just heat up sugar and water until sugar melts. You can infuse this sugar syrup with your mint, rosemary, or your choice of herbs.
- You will also need fresh lime juice and your choice of Rum. I like to use white rum which is light.
- Blend it all up in your blender.
- Enjoy!
This is such an easy cocktail recipe and it’s a classic for parties and gatherings. This Strawberry Daiquiri will be a hit if you are hosting a BBQ party or a get-together with friends. I’m sure you and your guests would love it.

- Blender
- 8 oz Frozen Strawberries
- 2 oz Fresh Strawberries
- 1 oz Sugar Syrup
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 4 oz White Rum
Garnish
- Fresh Strawberries
- Lime Slices
Place frozen and fresh strawberries, lime juice, sugar syrup, and white rum in the blender.
Blend untill all the strawberries are well blended.
Taste and adjust the sweetness more sugar syrup and sourness with lime juice.
You can add more rum if you like stronger drinks.
Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh strawberries and serve.
Notes:
I use a combination of fresh and frozen strawberries to achieve the perfect slushy texture.
If you use only frozen strawberries, It comes out like a sorbet.
If you don't have frozen strawberries, you can use ice to get the right texture.
I like to use Bacardi white rum, but you can use your choice of rum.
Recipe calls for 4 oz of white rum. Alternatively, you can use 3 oz white rum and 1 oz Cointreau. This gives a hint of tropical flavor to the daiquiri .
