How do you make a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
On lazy, hot summer days, one of my absolute favorite things to do is lay by the pool with a frozen strawberry daiquiri in hand. It’s the perfect thing to help you beat the heat, and it always manages to help me feel nice and refreshed.
I’ve always loved frozen strawberry daiquiris for their wonderful tart flavor and beautiful coloring, but growing up, the adults always made sure my ice-cold treat didn’t include the rum like this recipe does!
If you already have some homemade strawberry simple syrup on hand, it’s the perfect recipe to break out to ensure none goes to waste!

🔪 Instructions
The first thing you’ll need to do is pour your ice cubes into a blender. Before you start pulverizing your ice cubes into a slush, though, wash and clean your strawberries.
After you’ve washed and cleaned your strawberries (don’t forget to remove the leaves!), you’ll then need to slice your lime in half.
You’re only going to squeeze the juice from half of the lime, but be sure to set the other half aside. You’ll need to strain the juice from the lime through a close-meshed sieve.
Next, add the fresh lime juice, strawberry simple syrup, rum, and strawberries to the blender!
Don’t forget to properly close the lid all the way before you start blending!
You’ll want to keep blending until you achieve a nice frozen mixture that looks something like a slushy. Once you’ve got a perfect consistency, go ahead and grab a cocktail glass, the leftover lime for garnish, and enjoy!
This recipe makes the perfect amount for one, so if you’re planning to enjoy this ice-cold treat with a friend, be prepared to make multiple batches or double the recipe if you have enough room in your blender!
🍋 Variations
This is one of my favorite summertime drinks, but if you have children or you’re simply trying to avoid alcohol for the time being, there are variations you can make to make this a virgin strawberry daiquiri.
Instead of rum, you can substitute with tonic water, lemon soda, or even just lemonade. You can leave that up to personal preference and see which variation tastes best for you and your little ones!
You can also try a delicious frozen strawberry basil margarita for a change of pace!

🙋🏻 FAQ

This frozen cocktail recipe calls for rum!
This particular frozen strawberry daiquiri calls for a full cup of rum! Other recipes you might come across usually call for very similar quantities. If you prefer your drinks a little less strong, or with no alcohol at all, you can always substitute the rum (or a portion of it!) for lemonade, lemon soda, or tonic water!
When it comes time to decide which rum to use for this frozen strawberry daiquiri recipe, I usually leave that to personal preference, too. If you’re looking for a budget friendly option, I recommend using Bacardi Rum for your pour.
