Summer is just around the corner. So why not make a classic frozen strawberry daiquiri?
The secret to a delicious frozen strawberry daiquiri is skipping all that ice you often add into frozen cocktails. Sure the ice is needed to create that slushy frozen consistency but it can water down the flavour. So the trick is to use frozen strawberries. Not just any frozen strawberries, I recommend picking the freshest local strawberries from your local farmers market (or self pick farm). Wash them, remove the stems and flash freeze them to lock in the flavour…the freshly frozen berries will stand in for the ice cubes.
Recipe:
- 4 cups freshly frozen strawberries
- Fresh juice of 1 lime
- 4 oz light rum
- 5 oz simple syrup
Here’s how:
- Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender. I recommend using the smoothie function for this cocktail. You don’t need the ice crushing feature on this one because the frozen strawberries aren’t as hard to crush as ice cubes.
- Blend on smoothie setting. You want it to be a smooth, silky consistency. Easy to drink.
- Pour into glass.
- Garnish with lime (and even mint if you like)
- Enjoy.
