Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries
- 4 ounces rum
- 3 ounces simple syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries: Remove stems from strawberries and slice them in half. Freeze half of the berries (about 8 ounces) for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Combine ingredients: Once the berries are frozen, add both fresh and frozen strawberries to the jar of a high-speed blender.
- Add liquids: Pour in the rum, simple syrup, and lime juice into the blender with the strawberries.
- Blend the cocktail: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy.
- Garnish and serve: Pour the daiquiri into glasses and garnish with an extra strawberry or a slice of lime for a festive presentation.
- Nonalcoholic option: To make a virgin daiquiri, omit the rum and replace it with 4 ounces of water, then blend as usual.
Notes
- Freeze strawberries ahead of time to achieve the perfect slushy texture.
- A classic daiquiri balances sweet, tart, and boozy flavors — adjust simple syrup and lime juice to taste.
- The nonalcoholic version is just as refreshing and suitable for all ages.
- Use fresh lime juice for best flavor; bottled lime juice may alter the taste.
- Garnishing with fresh fruit enhances the visual appeal and aroma.
