This classic Strawberry Daiquiri is made in just a couple of minutes using frozen strawberries, simple syrup, rum, and fresh lime juice. The end result is a mouth-watering burst of ripe strawberries in a chilled refreshing cocktail without the strong taste of alcohol. Whether mixing up this frozen drink for a pool party or just for you and your significant other, these are the perfect spring and summer adult beverages.
Hubby and I love to mix up a few cocktails for the weekend or for entertaining with friends and family. Whiskey Sour, Tequila Sunrise, Pineapple Margarita, and this recipe are just a few of our favorite adult beverages.
How to make the best Strawberry Daiquiri
Listen, it does not get much easier than this, but it does require a little advanced preparation. Several hours prior to making the daiquiris prepare the simple syrup but adding equal amounts of sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring several times until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool for about 20 minutes, and then place it in the fridge so it can chill.
When ready to serve the daiquiris, add the strawberries, rum, simple syrup, and lime juice to a blender. Then blend on high until you have a slushy consistency. Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh strawberries and lime slices.
Helpful tips for Strawberry Daiquiris
- Don’t use ice, as it just waters down the flavor. Use frozen strawberries. I have always found frozen strawberries to be really sweet as growers let them ripen more on the vine before picking.
- Simple syrup can be made up to 4 weeks in advance.
- Store simple syrup in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
- Use a white rum or light rum like Bacardi. Not a dark or spiced rum.
- Mix these as needed, so they are refreshing and frosty.
- For best results, use fresh lime juice. So get ready to squeeze those delicious fruits.
- Skip the alcohol and add a little sprite or ginger ale and make a virgin strawberry daiquiri. The kids will love them.
- If you don’t have a blender, use a cocktail shaker and muddle the strawberries and simple syrup together. Then strain the mixture into a glass. Add rum, lime juice, and ice. It will not be a frozen cocktail, but it will still be delicious.
How to make simple syrup
First, add equal amounts of sugar and water to a saucepan. Then place it over medium heat on the stovetop. Now stir frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved. Finally, allow it to cool to room temperature and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
