Strawberry Daiquiri Cocktail

Easy Strawberry Daiquiri

The frozen strawberry daiquiri recipe is one of the most abused cocktails served up. Often sugared to the point you barely notice the alcohol and served in huge vessels as an adult slushie. It doesn’t need to be this way. A blended strawberry daiquiri, when balanced well can be refreshing & delicious. And is one of the easiest ways to incoorporate the berries into the cocktail so it is nice & smooth. If you don’t mind a little texture, you can always make a muddled version.

Using fresh lime juice makes a huge difference compared to bottled lime juice. If you can hand squeeze fresh (especially fresh from the tree fresh) it will be even better. The oils from the rinds will give the cocktail a little extra brightness and lime flavor without add acidity. Add the squeezed limes into the shaker for full benefit. Play with different rums, as they all vary in sweetness and depth of flavor.
