Must-Try Strawberry Daiquiri Recipes

When it comes to refreshing summer cocktails, the strawberry daiquiri holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a versatile drink, fit for almost any occasion – to sip by the pool, make in a large batch for a garden party, or to enjoy while winding down after a long day. This is the perfect way to add a fruity twist to your day, so today we’re exploring some of the best strawberry daiquiri recipes that you can easily whip up at home.

Classic strawberry daiquiri

You can’t go wrong with a classic! The classic strawberry daiquiri is a timeless favourite that never goes out of style.

To make this cocktail yourself, you’ll need:

• 5-6 medium-sized strawberries
• 60ml white rum
• 30ml lime juice
• 15ml simple syrup

Start by blending the strawberries until smooth in a blender before adding the rum, lime juice, and simple sugar. Give it another blend until everything is well combined.

Pour the mixture into a chilled glass and garnish with a slice of strawberry for that extra flair.

Frozen strawberry daiquiri

Want a nice cold kick to a simmering hot day? A frozen strawberry daiquiri is the way to go! This icy variation adds a fun twist to the traditional strawberry daiquiri recipe.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make your own:

• 5-6 medium strawberries
• 60ml white rum
• 30ml lime juice
• 15ml sugar syrup
• 1 cup ice

All you have to do is follow the same steps as the classic strawberry daiquiri recipe, but don’t forget to add ice! You’ll end up with a slushy, refreshing cocktail that’s perfect to sip on a hot summer day.

Don’t forget to top it off with a sprig of mint or a strawberry slice to add that extra umph!

Strawberry daiquiri with a tropical twist

Introducing other tropical fruits into your strawberry daiquiri can give it the freshness that you crave. Pineapples or mangos would go great with the classic strawberry daiquiri recipe.

Serve up your own upgraded strawberry daiquiri with:

• 4 medium-sized strawberries
• 3-4 small chunks of your choice of tropical fruit
• 60ml white rum
• 30ml lime juice
• 15ml simple syrup
• Ice (optional)

Simply blend all these ingredients together in a blender. You can also add some ice cubes into the mix if you want a slushy texture!

Serve your tropical strawberry daiquiri in a coconut shell or a tiki glass to really set the mood.

Strawberry daiquiri mocktail

If you prefer to skip the alcohol, you can still have an enjoyable experience with a non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri mocktail.

Fashion one yourself with:

• 5-6 medium-sized strawberries
• 30ml lime juice
• 30ml orange juice
• 15ml honey or agave syrup
• Ice (optional)

You can add ice to make a frozen mocktail if you’re feeling up for it.

Experiment with flavoured rums

These recipes all call for white rum, but feel free to step up your game a notch by experimenting with other variations of rum.

Coconut rum, for instance, can add a creaminess to your strawberry daiquiri. Spiced rum fans can also incorporate their favourite drink into this cocktail to bring a warm, aromatic quality to the drink.

This simple switch can elevate the taste of your strawberry daiquiri and give you a unique cocktail experience every time.

Whichever way you prefer your strawberry daiquiri, this frozen cocktail is not going to disappoint you. Don’t be shy to experiment with different ingredients in order to truly make the strawberry daiquiri your own.
