How to Make a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

Sharing is caring!

Jump to Recipe

Beat the summer heat with our perfectly balanced frozen strawberry daiquiri that’ll beats a pre-made mix any day! This refreshing cocktail combines both frozen and fresh strawberries for authentic berry flavor while chilling our cocktail without watering it down. After lots of testing, we’ve perfected this recipe so you can enjoy a smooth, balanced, and flavorful frozen daiquiri the first time you make it.

As home mixologists for nearly 15 years, my husband and I have experimented with countless cocktail recipes. While ironing out this recipe, we discovered that using both frozen strawberries (for thickness and chill) and fresh berries (for vibrant flavor) creates the ideal texture and taste. The fresh lime juice cuts through the sweetness to balance our cocktail, and a good quality rum adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

This blended cocktail is a great option for summer parties – simple double or triple your batch, blend, and enjoy! If you love a blended fruity cocktail, be sure to try our cherry frosé and strawberry peach frosé recipes too! Our frozen pina colada mocktail is a great choice too (so good, you won’t even miss the alcohol! Or spike it. You do you!).

Why You’ll Love This Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe

Level of difficulty: This is an easy cocktail recipe to make, perfect for the new home-bartender or the seasoned mixologist.

Flavor: The strawberry is the star of the show in this summer cocktail, with a little pop of lime coming through.

Texture: Since this is a frozen, blended cocktail. The texture is similar to a slushy.

Time: From start-to-finish, it will take you approximately 5 minutes to get your frozen strawberry daiquiri into your hand.

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri Ingredients

  • Strawberries, Fresh and Frozen: This cocktail recipe uses both fresh and frozen strawberries. The bulk of your strawberries are frozen, creating a delightfully cold beverage without the use of ice (which means your drink won’t get diluted as the ice melts, excellent!).
  • Lime Juice: The tartness of the lime plays off the sweetness of the strawberries…you don’t want to skip it!
  • Sugar: This strawberry daiquiri recipe calls for granulated sugar (a pretty typical item for most people). Just enough to add a touch more sweetness to your cocktail.
  • Rum: A white or light rum is the best choice for a strawberry daiquiri. However, if you only have a dark rum on hand, I’d say use it! Spiced rum is not ideal for this recipe as the spices tend to overpower the strawberry flavor.

See the recipe card below for full list and measurements.

Helpful Equipment

A good blender: All you need for this recipe is a good blender! We’ve gone through a few (what is it about blenders that they magically burn out after just passing the 1-year warranty mark?), but have had good luck with this basic blender.

How to Make a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

Prep your ingredients: Wash and remove the tops from your fresh strawberries, squeeze your lime, and measure out the remaining ingredients.

Place all ingredients in the blender, blend: Put all ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth.

Divide strawberry daiquiri between two (or more) glasses: Pour the contents of your blender into two glasses.

Garnish and enjoy! If desired, garnish with a slice of lime and enjoy!

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri FAQs

Can I use all frozen strawberries (instead of a fresh / frozen combo) for this strawberry daiquiri recipe? Of course! If you’re like me and like to buy bulk-bags of frozen fruit, this is a great option.

Can I reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe? The amount of sugar you use is definitely based on preference. I enjoyed the ⅓ cup of sugar used in this recipe, but definitely think reducing it down to ¼ cup would have been enjoyable too. Play around with it until you find your perfect sweetness level.

Can I use simple syrup instead of the granulated sugar? Definitely! According to the powers of Google, a good substitution ratio is to use ¼ ounce of simple syrup for every 1 teaspoon of sugar in a recipe. This ratio would have you add ½ cup of simple syrup to this recipe in lieu of the ⅓ cup of granulated sugar. Personally, I would recommend starting with a smaller amount of simple syrup, blending, and giving it a little taste test. If you’d like a little more sweetness, you can always add more.

Can I make this into a virgin strawberry daiquiri instead? Yes, and this is a great option to include kiddos in the fun! There are a couple of ways to do this. You can simply leave out the rum (however, this creates more of an icee texture which isn’t quite as smooth). You can also replace the rum with lemon-lime soda, apple juice, or white grape juice! I would recommend starting with a 1-to-1 ratio with your substitute liquid (so 4oz of soda or juice), blending, and giving it a taste-test. You may want to add additional soda or juice to create your perfect non-alcoholic frozen strawberry daiquiri.

How long does a daiquiri stay good in the freezer? If you won’t be enjoying all of your frozen strawberry daiquiri at one time, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months! When you’re ready to enjoy, you may need to add a splash of water (or a little more rum) to help reconstitute it. I like to toss it back in the blender for the best texture.
