Classic Strawberry Daiquiri
The only question to ask yourself is whether or not you’d like to proceed with fresh or frozen strawberries. Frozen strawberries will help to thicken the drink and won’t require as much ice, so your drink won’t get watered down very quickly on a hot day. You’ll have a crisper, berry-ful flavor!
We prefer using fresh ingredients to get the BEST, most flavorful drink!
Supplies Needed for Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri:
- Frozen Limeade
- Rum
- Fresh Strawberries
- Ice Cubes
NOTE: If you opt to use fresh lime juice instead of frozen limeade, you may also prefer to use frozen strawberries to achieve a thicker consistency. It’s not tricky at all to make substitutes for this recipe, it just requires finding that perfect consistency!
How to Make Fresh Strawberry Daiquiri:
First, prepare your strawberries by washing them, removing the stems, and cutting them in half.
Measure your frozen limeade and rum. Using frozen limeade is our preferred method to thicken the drink since we didn’t use frozen strawberries.
Add all ingredients to your blender.
Blend all ingredients in your blender or food processor until smooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Type of Rum Is The Best For This Recipe?
You can use any type of rum that’s available for your recipe. Go for darker and aged rum if you want to taste the alcohol in the mixture. On the other hand, if you want to emphasize the strawberry taste, you can go for white rum since it has a clean, light flavor.
What Foods Can I Serve With This Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri?
Tortilla chips with dips, like queso and guac, are always a safe choice! French fries, mixed nuts, and other savory treats also pair well with the drink if you’re serving them at your party.
What Should I Do With Leftover Daiquiri Mix?
Store safely in an airtight container for up to 3-4 weeks in your freezer! Just remember to thaw out the mixture before the next time you’re ready to use it!
Additional Substitution Notes and Suggestions
1. You can garnish your drink by dipping the glass rims in water and then on a plate with sugar. Another way is to place cut strawberries and/or fresh limes on the glass rim.
2. If you don’t want something alcoholic, you can easily remove the rum. To achieve the consistency you want, you can add a bit of water if you find the mixture too thick.
3. Of course, you can use frozen strawberries if fresh strawberries are unavailable. Water can help reduce the thickness of the mixture.
4. You can play around with the amount of liquor you want for your beverage. Our strawberry daiquiri recipe is just a starting point to help you create this drink in the comfort of your home.
