Strawberry Daiquiri
Ahhhh, summer! Warm weather, dining outside, playing golf 🏌️♀️, cycling 🚴♀️, walking, travelling 🛫, and simply relaxing on the patio reading a book. The birds are chirping, the trees and flowers are in full bloom, and the sky is blue. What’s missing from this picture? Oh, I know, a cocktail!
It’s nice sipping a cold drink 🍹 when it’s warm outside. There’s Paloma, Piña Colada, Sangria, Moscow Mule, Mint Julep, Vodka Spritzer, Margarita, Mai Tai, Mojito, Tequila Sunrise, and many more including this classic one… Strawberry Daiquiri!
I love, love, love this drink! All you need is a good blender! It takes 5 minutes and you’re ready to sip on something really tasty! With fresh strawberries, a good quality white rum, some lime juice and powdered sugar, this version is 💯 better than any premix from the store…
On one of our trips, we bought a premixed bottle and do you know what we did with it? We poured it down the drain! Ugh, ugh, ugh… it was disgusting! It tasted nothing like the real stuff! That was it for us… From there, we never ever considered buying another bottle of premix.
Mixing a real homemade Strawberry Daiquiri at home with real strawberries 🍓 is totally superior to anything out there. You’ll spend time sipping on it so I’m sure finding 5 minutes ⏰ to make it is not such a big deal. What takes the longest time is to prep the fruits by hulling and slicing them… the rest is a breeze!
Summer is about berries but sadly, they don’t keep very long. How many times have I bought some and a couple of days later, I had to throw a few out. Don’t worry because there’s a trick to keep them longer that I posted a couple of years ago and it’s Berries • How to Keep Them Longer. You’ll be amazed how effective it is. 😉
For the making of this cocktail, simple syrup is a common ingredient for it… as a matter of fact, any drink that requires sweetness. In the video 📽, I use powdered sugar and the reason why is the day before, I forgot to make simple syrup. I was surprised to see that it worked just fine and couldn’t see any difference in the taste so note to self, this is a great substitute for simple syrup.
Strawberry Daiquiris are so refreshing and very summery 😎. Fresh with a true berry flavor, this cocktail recipe is a great one to add to your bar menu. It takes 5 minutes to make and you’ll have a way better version than any premix from the store.
Cheers! 🥂
