Let’s dive in!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe peaches (pitted and sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup white rum (optional for mocktail)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Mint leaves and peach slices (for garnish)
Pro Tips
- Use ripe peaches: The juicier and sweeter your peaches, the better your daiquiri will taste!
- Adjust the sweetness: Start with 2 tablespoons of simple syrup, but feel free to add more if you like it sweeter.
- Mocktail version: Skip the rum and replace it with a splash of sparkling water or juice for a family-friendly version.
- Freeze your peaches: For an even frostier drink, use frozen peach slices instead of ice.
- Garnish for fun: A sprig of mint and a slice of peach instantly make it look fancy.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender
- Citrus juicer
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tall serving glasses
Substitutions & Variations
- No peaches? Use nectarines or even mangoes for a tropical twist.
- No simple syrup? Honey or agave syrup works just as well.
- Want it boozy? Swap white rum for coconut rum for extra tropical vibes.
- For a creamier texture: Add a splash of coconut milk or vanilla yogurt.
Make Ahead Tips
- Blend everything except the ice and rum ahead of time, and keep the mixture in the fridge. When ready to serve, blend with ice and rum for a freshly made daiquiri.
