Strawberry Daiquiri FAQs
How many calories are in a frozen strawberry daiquiri?
Depending on the proportions of ingredients used and the type of rum you select, a frozen strawberry daiquiri can be anywhere from between 230 to 280 calories, give or take.
Feel free to omit the simple syrup for a slightly healthier version. The natural sweetness of the strawberries may be enough for a fantastic cocktail!
What kind of rum do you use in a strawberry daiquiri?
Any kind of light rum is usually the go-to for a daiquiri. It allows the flavor of the fruit and juices to come forward and do a majority of the heavy lifting.
You could also try a light golden rum for a slightly deeper and more complex flavor profile. A dark rum will likely be too overpowering.
Is a daiquiri just a margarita with rum?
While the cocktails do share some commonalities–namely the use of lime juice–a margarita is made with tequila and triple sec, whereas a daiquiri is typically made with rum and simple syrup.
Both can be combined with ice and blended into a frozen drink, and both are delicious with a wide variety of added ingredients, especially fruits.
How to make simple syrup?
If you’re looking to make your very own simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then cool and store in a jar or sealable container.
You can also add other ingredients like fruits or try some of these flavored extracts to make flavored simple syrups.
Strawberry Daiquiri drink can be made on the rocks or frozen.
Popular Variations and Substitutions
- To add some sweetness, rim the edge of your glass with some white sugar. For an extra flair, pulverize freeze dried strawberries or another freeze dried fruit of choice and mix it into the sugar for additional flavor and color.
- This drink can also easily be made on the rocks if you want a more classic cocktail. Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice, then shake well and pour into a glass with more ice.
- Prefer a different fruit over strawberries? Substitute them for peaches, raspberries, blueberries, mango, or pineapple. You can also use a combination of fruits to create a delicious blend of flavors.
- Garnish with pretty straws, drink umbrellas, slices of lime or strawberries for a fun and exciting presentation!
Perfect for the summer, this frozen daiquiri recipe is great to whip up a single cocktail whenever you want something quick and refreshing!
