This Strawberry Daiquiri recipe is the most refreshing summer drink you’ll ever taste! Made with fresh strawberries, it has tons of strawberry flavor – and rum – although you can make it a virgin daiquiri whenever you want!
Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
This frozen daiquiri is the best drink for any warmer months or whenever you want to feel like you’re on a tropical island. This is one of those recipes that I always get when I’m on the beach or poolside, therefore I wanted to make a homemade strawberry daiquiri that you could drink from your house!
Classic daiquiris have a perfect slushy consistency mixed with a lot of alcohol (rum). I use fresh and frozen berries to make this scream summer flavor! But don’t fear – if you want a virgin daiquiri it’s easy to make with this recipe. This is the BEST Strawberry Daiquiri – no matter how you make this recipe, I know it will be a refreshing drink of your dreams!
Ingredients Needed
- Strawberries: A pound of strawberries is needed – you’ll freeze half of them.
- Rum: Use any flavor rum you like – white rum, coconut rum, or spiced rum. Any brand too, like Malibu or Bacardi.
- Simple Syrup: For sweetness – you can also use a few teaspoons white sugar.
- Lime Juice: Brightens up the flavor of the cocktail. I like using fresh squeezed lime juice.
Variations
- Slice and freeze half a pound of fresh strawberries to act as the ice in the recipe or use a half pound of frozen strawberries instead.
- Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri – omit rum and replace it with 4 ounces water.
- This same recipe can be done with peaches or watermelon – or really any fruit. Just use half frozen and half fresh!
How to make a Strawberry Daiquiri
- Remove stems from strawberries and slice in half. Freeze half of the berries (8 ounces).
- Add fresh berries and frozen berries to the jar of a high speed blender. Add rum, simple syrup, and lime juice. Blend until you get a smooth slushy texture.
- Pour into glass. Garnish with an extra strawberry and/or lime slice or lime wedge.
- To make non-alcoholic: omit rum and use water in place of the rum (4 oz).
Expert Tips
- Plan ahead to get half of the strawberries in the freezer so you are not rushing it at the last minute – or grab a bag of frozen berries and use half frozen and half fresh.
- You can serve a daiquiri in really any cocktail glass, but I love a hurricane glass or margarita glass.
- Serve immediately. I don’t recommend storing it.
FAQs
Really you can use anything you like – a daiquiri would also be great with tequila or vodka.

- You can add more or less rum if you want, but if you add less you may need to add
some water (it depends on your blender). - Simple syrup can be adjusted depending on your preference and on how sweet your
berries are. - For rum, use any you like. I love using white rum or coconut rum, but spiced or dark rum would be delicious too.
