Frozen Daiquiri

The frozen daiquiri is a delicious boozy slushie and an excellent way to cool down on a hot summer day. Featuring the tart, snappy taste of fresh lime juice, this fruity daiquiri is easy to blend up and adapt to your personal taste.

A basic frozen lime daiquiri, this recipe includes the essential ingredients of the original shaken daiquiri: rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Blending ice into that classic cocktail can make the flavor a little dull, though. The solution is to use a little less ice and add triple sec for extra dimension. To give it an extra flavor boost, consider using an aged rum and make the simple syrup with dark sugar. When paired with fresh lime juice, these simple upgrades create an intriguing frosty drink.

As in any daiquiri and margarita recipe, there is potential to add even more flavor. With a little extra fruit or liquor, you can transform this recipe into an entirely new experience. For a depth of flavor, use raw sugar (e.g., turbinado or demerara) or coconut sugar instead of white sugar in the simple syrup recipe. Honey and agave nectar are good alternative sweeteners. Have fun with what you toss into the blender, and enjoy your experiments.

What Is the Best Rum for a Frozen Daiquiri? While white rum may be a good choice for a full-flavored strawberry daiquiri, a lime daiquiri needs a little more dimension. This is the perfect time to use your favorite gold or aged rum. For even more flavor, consider a spiced or flavored rum. The drink's more transparent flavor will not cover up any impurities in the rum, either. For the best-tasting frozen daiquiri, choose a mid-range brand of rum.

Typically, the daiquiri doesn't use triple sec, which is standard in a margarita, but sometimes (as in this recipe), it's a nice addition to the rum cocktail.
