Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (600g) frozen strawberries, unsweetened
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) white rum (e.g., Bacardi or Captain Morgan)
- ½ cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice
- ½ cup (120 ml) simple syrup
- 2 cups (480 ml) crushed ice
- Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out 4 cups (600g) of frozen strawberries, 1 ½ cups (360 ml) white rum, ½ cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice, ½ cup (120 ml) simple syrup, and 2 cups (480 ml) crushed ice. Have your blender and pitcher ready.
- Add the frozen strawberries and crushed ice to your blender. Pulse a few times to break up the larger pieces, then blend on high until smooth but still thick and slushy.
- Pour in the white rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup. Blend again for 15-20 seconds to combine everything evenly. Add a splash of water or more lime juice if the mixture is too thick.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup or tartness by adding more lime juice as desired.
- Pour the blended daiquiri into your pitcher. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to chill further. Stir gently before serving.
- Serve over additional crushed ice if desired, garnished with fresh strawberries and mint sprigs.
Notes
Use unsweetened frozen strawberries to avoid overly sweet drinks. Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor. If blender struggles, let strawberries sit 5 minutes or add a splash of cold water. Serve immediately or within a couple of hours for best texture. Avoid freezing leftovers.
