Equipment
- High-powered blender
Ingredients
- 1½ cups frozen strawberries
- 3 ounces Bacardi white rum
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup, plus more to taste *see note below
- ice, if needed
- fresh strawberries and lime wedges for garnish optional
Instructions
- Add the ingredients. Add the frozen strawberries, Bacardi rum, lime juice, and simple syrup to a high-powered blender.
- Blend. Blend on high until completely smooth and slushy.
- Adjust if needed. Taste and add more simple syrup for sweetness or lime juice for more tartness. If you prefer a thicker, icier daiquiri, add a small handful of ice and blend again.
- Serve. Divide between two cocktail glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberries and lime wedges, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries: I prefer frozen strawberries because they give the daiquiri a thick, slushy texture without requiring much added ice.
- Using fresh strawberries: You can use 1½ cups fresh strawberries instead. Add a handful of ice and blend, adding more ice as needed until you reach your desired consistency.
- Simple syrup: To make your own, combine equal parts granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring, just until the sugar dissolves. Cool completely before using.
- Adjust the sweetness: Strawberries vary in sweetness, so taste the daiquiri after blending before adding additional simple syrup.
- Other white rum: Bacardi is used in this recipe, but another light or white rum can be substituted.
- Virgin strawberry daiquiri: Omit the rum and add a splash of water, lime juice, or fruit juice as needed to help the strawberries blend.
- Serve immediately: Frozen daiquiris are best served straight from the blender before they begin to melt.
