Why Make this Strawberry Daiquiri?
This is the best strawberry daiquiri recipe because it is so quick and easy with real ingredients and no daiquiri mix is required. I mean, who knows what’s actually in those pre-made mixes!
Ingredients Needed for the Best Strawberry Daiquiri
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.
- Strawberries: Fresh and Frozen. The fresh fruit adds the bold flavor of sweet strawberries and the frozen fruit gives it that icy texture for the best frozen strawberry daiquiri.
- Simple Syrup: Made with equal parts boiling water and sugar.
- Light Rum: We are using Bacardi Superior white rum we think it’s the best rum at an affordable price for this type of cocktail. Feel free to use your favorite brand, no need for top shelf rum in a mixed drink.
- Fresh Lime Juice: Fresh is best but if you can’t get fresh limes, look for Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice. Lemon juice is another option if you don’t have limes. The lime balances out the sweetness of the strawberries and is the signature flavor to any daqiuiri.
How to Make a Strawberry Daiquiri
- Place fresh and frozen strawberries into a blender or food processor along with simple syrup, rum and lime juice.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour into your favorite cocktail glass and garnish with fresh strawberries.
- Garnish with a slice of lime and whole strawberry.

For the best results use blender or food processor to make a homemade strawberry daiquiri with a slushy texture. I blew out my blender some time back so I made these in my food processor, either way it couldn’t be easier.
The classic strawberry daiquiri can be served in any glass that you prefer. I like to serve them in old fashioned glasses for casual occasions or coupe glasses for cocktail parties.
Best Occasions for Strawberry Daiquiris
Serve strawberry daiquiris for a date night in, girl’s night or cocktail parties. They are delicious enough for special occasions like July 4th celebrations, Valentine’s Day or New Year’s Eve parties. It’s also easy enough for casual gatherings like a pool party on a hot summer day.
Almost every time I go grocery shopping, I pick up a carton of strawberries. Sometimes they are gone by the end of the day and sometimes I get busy and forget that they are in the fridge. So I end up with lots of frozen strawberries and they are the best for making frozen cocktails
I came across a baggie of frozen berries the other day and decided a slushy cocktail was in order. Best idea I’ve had all week!
I am a total strawberry fanatic so it’s no surprise that I am loving this Easy Strawberry Daiquiri cocktail. The ingredients are simple but the combination is beyond delicious! Especially if you have sweet, ripe, real strawberries.

I find it extremely annoying all the people complaining about how they have to read a story before getting to the recipe. All you have to do is simply scroll or his the “jump to recipe ” button (which I have seen many people say). Why is it that everyone has to be so rude to someone posting a FREE recipe. They obviously don’t understand what goes into creating a recipe or posting it for everyone to see. They just want instant gratification and can’t take literally 1 second to push a button or scroll to the bottom. Also, you might read the post before the recipe as sometimes it offers pictures of the process, different variations or other useful information. I swear people nowadays never learned “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
Hi Athena,
Thanks for stopping by and I couldn’t agree more! My grandma taught me not to say anything if I didn’t have anything nice to say!

So glad you enjoy it!

Do you have other daiquiris recipes which do not include strawberries. Husband and a friend of ours has diverticulitis and cannot have the seeds. I’ll definitely make this for me. LOL. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Anne,
I have a delicious Peach Daiquiri, Pineapple Daiquiri, and the Classic Daiquiri.
I’ll be trying this out tonight! I read the comments and just wanted to say that you didn’t even write that much “extra” content. And some people actually understand the blogging aspect of sharing recipes. Thanks for sharing this! I’m excited to try it!
Shyler,
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you love it as much as we do!

Can’t wait to try the daiquiri. Hate the rude comments. If you can’t say something nice keep it to yourself. You aren’t impressing anyone just making yourself look like a fool. Again, thank you for the recipe.
Thanks Candi,
Hope you love it!
