What is a Daiquiri?
A classic rum cocktail, the daiquiri is the celebration of rum, citrus juice (typically lime juice), and a sweetener (typically simple syrup).
These ingredients are combined and shaken or blended with ice, creating a chilled and slightly frothy drink. The blender was invented around the time that daiquiris were introduced at the famous El Floridita bar in Havana.
Traditionally, classic daiquiri recipes were being shaken in Cuba by the 1000’s, served straight up (without ice). On account of the crazy hot climate, they fully embraced the addition of blended ice. They whirled the cocktail trifecta with some ice to make their daiquiri oh-so-refreshing.
One of our favorite non-frozen versions is the peach daiquiri.
Ingredients Needed
Often times, frozen drinks are unbalanced, sickly sweet, and too tart from the added sour mix. So skip the pre-made mix in your frozen drinks
For the strawberry raspberry daiquiri layer:
- Frozen strawberries
- White rum
- Frozen raspberries
- Lime juice — Fresh lime juice is key.
- Simple syrup — Purchase at the store. Or make your own homemade class syrup, brown simple syrup or mint simple syrup. As for sugar, sweetness by any other temperature is actually not as sweet. We cannot detect sugar as well at cold temperatures so extra sugar is needed to permeate the frozen drink than with the shaken counterpart. So adjust the simple syrup to your preferences. But be sure not to add too much to throw off the balance of the rum and lime.
- Ice
- Salt — Adding in a tiny bit highlights the sweet and tart notes.
For the coconut daiquiri layer:
- Coconut cream — Coconut cream adds a delightful creaminess to this drink. Don’t confuse it with coconut milk, which has a thinner consistency and less richness. Look for canned coconut cream in the international aisle of your grocery store.
- White rum
- Lime juice
- Simple syrup
- Ice
- Salt

Recipe Notes and Tips
- Simple syrup is a readily available sweetener, but you can experiment with other options. Honey or agave nectar can add a subtle floral or earthy note, respectively. Start with a smaller amount and adjust to your preference.
- Crushed ice is ideal for this recipe as it blends easier than whole cubes, creating a smoother frozen texture. If using regular ice cubes, be prepared to blend for a longer time to achieve the desired consistency.
- The recipe provides a base for the rum amount. Feel free to adjust it based on your desired alcohol level. Remember,frozen drinks tend to lose some potency as they melt, so don’t be afraid to start with a slightly stronger rum presence
- For a thicker frozen consistency, pre-freeze your serving glasses for at least 30 minutes before blending the daiquiri.
- Any leftover frozen daiquiri mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Just be aware that the texture might become slightly icier upon refreezing. Simply thaw slightly or blend again before enjoying!
