Strawberry Orange Daiquiri
A refreshing blend of frozen strawberries, orange and lime, with a touch of rum, offering a delicious twist on the classic daiquiri.
Ingredients
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 shot rum
- 2 cups frozen strawberries*
Instructions
- Starting with the liquids first, add all the ingredients to a blender and puree until thick and smooth. Since it’s a thick mixture, you may have to stop once or twice and mix the contents with a spoon to loosen them up. You can also add a splash of extra water if needed.
Notes
* If you can find frozen “sliced” strawberries, they’ll be easier to blend than whole. But whole works, too. You can always slice your own fresh strawberries and freeze them.
• In my experience, adding the liquids to your blender first (and saving the berries for last), will make blending MUCH easier.
• I use frozen strawberries to give the beverage that thick and luscious texture. Fresh strawberries will be delicious but yield a significantly thinner beverage.
• You can swap cranberry juice, pink grapefruit juice, or pineapple juice for the orange juice. Each will bring a different fruity flavor adventure.
• Feel free to omit the rum for a virgin daiquiri.
• This recipe makes 2 ¾ cups. It can be served as one large serving or divided into two smaller servings. If serving two smaller portions, you can add an additional shot of rum.
• A standard shot of rum = 1.5 ounces = 3 tablespoons
