The recipe

Method

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then add them to a high-powered blender with the white rum, freshly squeezed lime juice and simple syrup.
  2. Add a generous handful of ice cubes and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick and beautifully frosted.
  3. Taste and adjust if needed, adding a little more lime juice for brightness or a touch more syrup for extra sweetness.
  4. Pour the frozen daiquiri into a chilled cocktail or coupe glass.
  5. Garnish with a fresh strawberry, a wheel of lime or a sprig of mint for an elegant finishing touch.
  6. Serve immediately while perfectly ice-cold and enjoy this vibrant, fruit-filled cocktail at its refreshing best.

A few details make all the difference

01

Choose ripe strawberries

Use sweet, fragrant berries and dry them well after washing to prevent a watery daiquiri.

02

Keep everything cold

Chill the rum, strawberries and serving glass beforehand for a thicker, longer-lasting frozen texture.

03

Add liquids first

Pour the rum, lime juice and syrup into the blender before adding strawberries and ice. This helps the mixture blend smoothly and evenly.
