Many takes on the strawberry daiquiri exist, but your personal spin is always welcomed. Mix it up by changing the style of rum, adding more fruit, or garnishing with some fresh mint or any other edible herb or flower. The key is to use fresh juice and strawberries and to be aware of the balance between ingredients. Some strawberries are sweet and some are on the tart side. You might need to add more simple syrup or lime juice. Try a teaspoon at a time. In a blender , add the rum, simple syrup, lime juice, strawberries, and ice.
Blend well at high speed until smooth. Pour into a chilled collins or margarita glass. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a whole strawberry. Serve and enjoy. Muddle 3 or 4 sliced strawberries in a mixing glass or cocktail shaker until crushed and most of the juice has been released.

Did not have enough white rum, so used half white, half raspberry. No fresh strawberries as not been shopping… but the result was a dream! Just a tad limey for me. But good and so easy.
I used Frozen Raspberry from Coles freezer. So Thankyou Nagi greT first recipe for me to come back to after being sick for a few months. Please give the very handsome Dozer a big hug and tummy rub from Cuddlz and me….
I subbed in an over ripe fresh mango for the fresh Strawberries, but did everything else the same and it was smashing! Hi Autumn, I have a recipe for that too! Hi nagi I have a party and want to make them ahead of time so i am not on the blender all night! If i do and put them in mason jars and store in the freezer will this work? Loved this, absolutely perfect! Best strawberry Daiquiri ever! Normally I make mango daiquiris with blended ice.
Time to make some more. Just wondering how many cocktails this recipe makes? It sounds delicious! Ingredients Decrease Serving 8.

Using superfine sugar will disolve instantly. If you have a good blender, blend granulated sugar alone in the blender for a good seconds and you'll get your own superfine sugar. The rum quantity was great. I would leave out the carbonated beverage, though, because it takes away from the strawberry flavour.
