Strawberry Daiquiri Cocktail Recipe
A strawberry daiquiri combines fresh strawberries, rum, and lime juice into a sweet and refreshing frozen cocktail. The drink comes together in just 5 minutes with basic bar tools and a blender.
Equipment
- High-powered blender
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Citrus juicer
- Cocktail glasses
- Fine mesh strainer (optional)
Ingredients
- 6 fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 2 cups crushed ice
Optional garnish: Fresh strawberry and lime wheel
Instructions
- Add strawberries to the blender and pulse until chopped.
- Pour in the rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Then, add the crushed ice.
- Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy.
- Pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass through a fine mesh strainer if desired.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry and lime wheel.
Notes
Fresh strawberries make the best daiquiris. If using frozen berries, reduce the ice by 1/2 cup.
Store-bought simple syrup works well, or make it at home by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved.
The cocktail should be thick but still drinkable through a straw. Add more ice for a thicker texture or less for a thinner drink.
Keep ingredients cold before mixing for the best frozen texture.
