Variations

Why Choose Vodka?
Many prefer vodka for their daiquiris because it doesn’t have as prominent a flavor as rum. Vodka is similar to light rum both because of its more mild flavor and because it is clear, but the mash used to make vodka does not contain molasses or sugarcane, yielding a relatively flavorless liquor. A strawberry daiquiri made with vodka can easily become a favorite. You can try many different ingredients to come up with a signature cocktail recipe that is truly unique.

Strawberry daiquiris have a dewy rich flavor, and by using vodka the strawberry flavors are uninhibited. Consider this spirit swap the next time you go to shake a drink, you might just find a strawberry daiquiri with vodka is your new favorite daiquiri.

Happy weekend, folks! Speaking of weekend, how is the weekend usually spent in your household? Well, a typical weekend for us is doing some grilling and a couple of drinks in our little backyard.
And if you’re like me who stocks up on fresh strawberries before they go out of season, here’s what you can make out of those – my kind of cocktail – STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI.
- fruity
- refreshingly good
- great for dessert
I’ve already mentioned here on my blog that I’m not an alcohol type of person but this one is right up my alley. This special frozen Strawberry Daiquiri has served me and hubby well on most of our Friday Netflix nights.
What’s the Difference Between a Margarita and a Daiquiri
Daiquiris and margaritas are both tropical cocktails which I love. But I’d say this Strawberry Daiquiri is my favorite cocktail so far. Ahhh wait, wait..I’m still deciding between this and my Mango Margarita.
But what is really the difference between a margarita and a daiquiri?
First off, a daiquiri uses a rum and lime juice combo while a margarita uses tequila and orange liqueur. Second, in serving these drinks, a margarita is served in a margarita glass as opposed to a cocktail glass for a daiquiri. And lastly, a margarita glass is most of the time rimmed with salt while daiquiris aren’t.
What’s in a Strawberry Daiquiri?
Daiquiris are from the family of cocktails which is usually a mix of rum, citrus juice and sugar or another sweetener. And the most popular amongst them is this Strawberry Daiquiri. This drink recipe is SUPER EASY to make using only 6 ingredients:
- white rum
- frozen strawberries (fresh if you want it non-slushy)
- lime juice
- ice cubes
- sugar
- ice cream (OPTIONAL; but it’s a must-try 😉)
What Kind of Rum Do You Use?
Did you know that Daiquiris originated from Cuba where rum is the king? There are different varieties of rum, but for this recipe, I chose white rum. White rum is the perfect choice for a daiquiri as it is sweeter compared to dark rums. I use Bacardi, in case you’re asking for the brand.
Can I Make This Into Non Alcoholic Strawberry Daiquiri
Yes, you can. You can have this adult version for yourself and serve a daiquiri WITHOUT THE RUM to your kids. Simply substitute the white rum for the same amount of water or fruit juice. They’re gonna love it!
Strawberry Daiquiri Variations
Aside from the virgin version of this drink as mentioned above, you can make other variations of this drink, too. How fun is that?
- Don’t like it slushy? Swap out the frozen strawberries for fresh ones and just pour it over ice for an on the rocks daiquiri.
- Want it more fruity? One of our readers commented on adding some mangoes and pineapples. Tropical drink overload! Go for it if it’s your thing!
- Try using apple juice instead of white rum. You’ll love the layering of flavors.
How To Make A Strawberry Daiquiri
This drink is way easier to make than it sounds. Simply blend all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy. Then pour it into a serving glass, about 1/3 of it, top with ice cream (this is a MUST-TRY), pour another layer of strawberry daiquiri on top and serve. Or you can add some whipped cream on top, if desired.
