Make a Strawberry Daiquiri

Daiquiri is a family of cocktails whose main ingredients are rum, lime juice, and sugar or another sweetener. [1] This will teach you how to make a scrumptious frozen strawberry daiquiri that will vanish in no time.

Ingredients

  • 3 fl oz (90 mL) Bacardi 151
  • 3 fl oz (90 mL) Liquor 43
  • 3 fl oz (90 mL) DeKuyper's Wild Strawberry Liqueur
  • 4 fl oz (120 mL) Roses Grenadine Syrup
  • 4 fl oz (120 mL) Roses Lime Juice
  • 6 fl oz (180 mL) Daily's Strawberry Margarita/Daiquiri mix
  • 3 fl oz (90 mL) Finest Call Sour mix
  • 1 container (10 oz) Birds Eye Deluxe Strawberries Halved In A Delicious Syrup
  • Whipped Cream
  • Brown Sugar
  • Fresh Strawberries

Steps

Making the Drink

  1. Place the strawberries and 4 cups of cracked ice in a blender. If either are in one giant block, you'll be fighting an uphill battle. Break both of them up into small pieces if need be.
  2. Add 6 oz Daily's' Strawberry Margarita/Daiquiri mix and the alcohol. That's the 3 oz of Liquor 43, the 3 oz or DeKuyper's Wild Strawberry Liqueur, and the 3 oz of Bacardi 151.
  3. Add your flavors. Add to the blender 4 oz Roses Grenadine Syrup and 4 oz Roses Lime Juice. Top it off with 3 oz Finest Call Sweet & Sour Mix.
  4. Blend until liquefied. You'll know it's ready when the ice stops making noise.

Assembling the Drink

  1. Take a 10 oz. stemmed glass and use a bar napkin to wipe the edge with Roses Lime Juice. Look at you, with your professional habits! The other option is to quarter a lime and run the wedge along the rim. Whichever is easier.
  2. Turn over the glass and tap the edge lightly in crumpled brown sugar. Do this along the entire rim and try to get an even coating on all sides.
  3. Slice a fresh strawberry. Do this from 1/3 down from the stem to the tip and place on the rim of the glass. Part of the greatness of the strawberry daiquiri is the presentation. It's gotta be pretty!
  4. Fill with daiquiri and top with whipped cream. Fill that glass up to the brim. Don't be shy! A can of whipped cream will make for the best presentation unless you have a piping bag.
  5. Fan half a strawberry. Slice it in half the long way. Then make slits starting, again, from 1/3 of the way down from the stem. Once all your slits are made, press down gently with your hand to fan it out. Place it, in its fan shape, on top of the whipped cream.
  6. Add a straw just below the strawberry slices and enjoy. If you have a drink umbrella, add that too!
    • Enjoy safely. Even though it's beautiful and tasty, there is alcohol in it. At the end of the day, getting pulled over for slamming 6 fruity daiquiris is as bad as pounding the tequila.

Tips

  • The brand names listed are for ease of finding the right products at the store. If you see something similar that's cheaper, buy away!
  • If it's too thin, add up to a cup of additional ice.
  • You can also put a few prepared cups in the freezer to give time for you and your guest to enjoy the first serving.
  • Shaking the blender while mixing will help get an even blend.
  • Always triple check the lid to make sure it's closed.
  • Keeping a hand on top of the lid will ensure the lid does not vibrate off the blender.

Warnings

  • This recipe has a large amount of alcohol and, as good as it tastes, should be consumed wisely.
  • Drinking fast can result in an ice cream style headache or frozen esophagus. Both are quite painful.
  • Never place any utensil in the blender while it is running.
  • Never drive after having anything to drink.
