Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

Print Photography Credit: Elise Bauer I love a daiquiri, be it frozen or straight, strawberry or banana. It’s all good.

A daiquiri is essentially a mixture of rum, sugar, and citrus – anything after that is just gilding the lily. A frozen strawberry daiquiri, however, is the ultimate refresher for summer days spent poolside or with your toes buried deep in the sand.

Many strawberry daiquiri recipes use fresh strawberries, but personally, I find that frozen strawberries help thicken the drink (like a smoothie!) and ensures that the cocktail stays uber chilly. This said, by all means, feel free to use fresh strawberries if you prefer!

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe
Print You can buy prepared simple syrup for this recipe, or make it yourself! Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cool and refrigerate; it will keep for several weeks.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups white rum 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice, from about 6 juicy limes 1/4 to 1/3 cup simple syrup, depending on your preferred sweetness 1 16-ounce package frozen strawberries 4 cups ice cubes Strawberries, lime wheels, or little umbrellas for garnish (optional) Special equipment:

Method
1 Place the rum, 1/2 cup of the lime juice, 1/4 cup of the simple syrup, strawberries, and ice cubes into a blender and pulse until completely blended with a slushy consistency.

2 Check the consistency and flavor. Add more lime juice for more tartness or more simple syrup to sweeten, if needed. You may also want more ice to make it slushier in consistency. A daiquiri is not an exact science, so adjust as you see fit.

3 Divide the daiquiris between glasses. Garnish and serve. Hello! All photos and content are copyright protected. Please do not use our photos without prior written permission.
