If too tart, add a little white sugar. That’s it! Let us know if you try out this strawberry daiquiri recipe: and if it helps for exhausted parent evenings like ours! Or a bridal shower, girl’s night, cookout, pool party, or…really anytime! Did you know a classic daiquiri isn’t frozen? Using frozen berries eliminates the need for ice cubes. You still get that wonderful frozen consistency without watering down the strawberry flavor. I also like to throw in a few fresh strawberries if I have them for a burst of pure strawberry flavor.

The strawberries, rum, and lime juice get tossed in the blender. Then add ice a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Fun Variations A coupe glass is perfect but don’t get too hung up on the glasses; a martini glass or margarita glass would work just as well. What’s the best occasion to serve this at?
