What kind of rum is best for a Strawberry Daiquiri?

Classically, it’s a clear white rum rather than a darker or aged variety that is used in a Strawberry Daiquiri and you can use a more budget-friendly option like Bacardi that will still give you a smooth tasting cocktail overall. You can try a darker rum but it will change the lightness and bright flavor of the drink.

Can you make this a virgin Strawberry Daiquiri?

Yep! All you have to do is leave out the rum and you’ll have a virgin strawberry slushy mocktail. You can even add in a little lemon-lime soda at the end to give it some extra flavor.

Ingredients

• Strawberries: The combination of frozen and fresh strawberries add a frozen slushy quality to the drink while the fresh strawberries thin it out a bit so it’s not too thick to drink.
• Sugar: Adding some simple syrup to the drink will add a little sweetness to balance out the lime.
• Lime: Fresh lime juice is best to give this cocktail a tart twist.
• Rum: White rum is the most popular choice for a daiquiri due to its lighter taste and it’s what we prefer.

Daiquiris are traditionally served in hurricane glasses, but you can also use a tall tumbler-style glass if you wish.

Directions

Add your fresh and frozen strawberries to a blender along with the simple syrup, lime juice, and rum.

Blend until smooth, pour into hurricane glass and enjoy!

Tips for Making

• If you only have fresh strawberries, sub those out for the frozen ones and add a cup of ice to make the drink slushy.
• If you don’t have a blender, try making your drinks in a food processor instead!
