A daiquiri is essentially a mixture of rum, sugar, and citrus – anything after that is just gilding the lily. A frozen strawberry daiquiri, however, is the ultimate refresher for summer days spent poolside or with your toes buried deep in the sand.

Fresh or Frozen Strawberries?
Many strawberry daiquiri recipes use fresh strawberries, but personally, I find that frozen strawberries help thicken the drink (like a smoothie!) and ensures that the cocktail stays uber chilly. This said, by all means, feel free to use fresh strawberries if you prefer! Mount Gay is a widely available and affordable brand that works well in this cocktail.
Strawberry Daiquiris for a Crowd
This recipe makes a whole pitcher of daiquiris – plenty for a party! It’s best to make and serve this drink right away while it’s still chilled and slushy, so have your glasses (and your guests) ready. Just want a single serving? No problem. Just scaled down the recipe to make as many or as few drinks as you’d like.
