The strawberry daiquiri is our go-to drink: It's a fruity spin on a classic daiquiri, a perfectly balanced combination of rum, sweet (simple syrup), and sour (lime juice). The most important part of a delicious daiquiri is the quality of ingredients: Use good rum and avoid, at all costs, a store-bought sour mix. We also added frozen strawberries—they're naturally sweet and refreshing and allow you to skip the ice (which will water down your drink). FYI: If you love this cocktail, you'll also love our frosé recipe. Ingredients 2 ounces light rum 1/2 ounce lime juice 3/4 ounce simple syrup 5 ounces frozen strawberries (or a half of a 10-ounce bag) fresh strawberries and lime, for garnish Directions Add rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and frozen strawberries to a blender and puree until smooth and creamy. Pour into a chilled Collins glass and garnish with fresh strawberry slices and lime. Rate It Print
