The most amazing Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri is made with a load of fresh, frozen strawberries!! No ice to dilute the flavour, and it’s got the perfect slushy consistency. Dangerously easy to drink – there’s a decent slug of booze in this but you can’t taste it!

What type of alcohol goes in a daiquiri?
Frozen Strawberry Daiquiris are made with white rum which is clear. I use Bacardi which is a popular mid-level brand which is widely available around most of the world. But you can use any, like Havana Club, Appleton, Cruz. Bacardi is a mid shelf quality white rum.
As a general rule, I use mid level liquor for cocktails that are mixed with other flavours because I think it’s unnecessary to use top shelf liquor.
How to make Frozen Strawberry Daiquiris
Note: You need a powerful blender or Nutribullet-type blitzing device to blend the frozen strawberries into a slushy texture.
Note the consistency of the Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri above and in the video below. It’s like a sloppy slushy – not icy like a sorbet that calls for a spoon to eat it (who wants to eat their cocktails??!!). You should be able to drink it – but it should mound slightly initially then slowly melt!
