Let’s dive in!
What You’ll Need
- 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
- ½ cup coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
- ¼ cup white rum (or skip for a non-alcoholic version!)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp simple syrup (or honey for a natural option)
- 1 cup ice
- Whipped coconut cream (optional, for topping)
- Fresh strawberry slices and shredded coconut (for garnish)
Pro Tips
- Use frozen strawberries for that perfect slushy texture without watering it down with too much ice.
- Want a non-alcoholic version? Skip the rum—it still tastes amazing!
- If your daiquiri feels too thick, add a splash of coconut water or more coconut milk to loosen it up.
- For an extra-special touch, rim the glass with shredded coconut by dipping the rim in lime juice, then the coconut.
- Keep your blender on a lower setting at first, then increase the speed for a silky-smooth drink.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender
- Hand juicer or citrus squeezer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tall glass for serving
- Straw or cocktail umbrella for garnish
Substitutions & Variations
- No coconut milk? Use almond milk or even regular milk, but it won’t be as creamy.
- Swap simple syrup for honey or agave if you want a natural sweetener.
- Add a splash of pineapple juice for an extra tropical twist!
- Skip the whipped coconut cream if you want to keep it lighter.
Make Ahead Tips
You can blend the drink without the ice ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, just add the ice and give it a quick blend again.
How to Make It
1. Prepare the Glass
Pour lime juice onto a small plate. Dip the rim of a tall glass into the lime juice, then dip it into a plate of shredded coconut, gently pressing to coat the rim. Set aside.
2. Blend the Daiquiri
Add the frozen strawberries, coconut milk, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice to the blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into Glass
Carefully pour the blended daiquiri into the prepared glass with the coconut-rimmed edge. Leave about an inch of space at the top for garnishing.
4. Garnish
Top with whipped coconut cream, a fresh strawberry, and a cute cocktail umbrella. Sprinkle a pinch of shredded coconut on top for extra flair.
5. Serve and enjoy!
Pop in a straw, sit back, and enjoy your tropical escape!
Leftovers & Storage
If you have any leftovers, pour the daiquiri into a freezer-safe container and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes and stir or re-blend.
