Strawberry Daiquiri
A frozen rum sour blended with strawberries for a bright summer serve.
The Strawberry Daiquiri applies the classic rum-lime-sugar sour to ripe strawberries, usually as a blended frozen drink. Rum keeps the structure, lime sharpens the fruit, and ice creates a slush texture suited to hot weather. Served in a stemmed or specialty glass, it is one of the most recognizable summer cocktail variations. Fresh or frozen berries both work when balanced carefully.
Ingredients
- • 2 oz white rum
- • 1 oz fresh lime juice

“Fruit daiquiri variations proliferated in mid-century American bars as blenders made frozen citrus-rum drinks practical for high-volume summer service.”
Bartender's Note
Taste for sweetness after blending; ripe strawberries need less syrup. Avoid over-diluting with too much ice.
