Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri: Frozen Recipe Without Rum
A virgin strawberry daiquiri uses frozen fruit for a thick, fruity texture without needing excessive ice.
A virgin strawberry daiquiri uses frozen fruit for a thick, fruity texture without needing excessive ice. Lime provides bright acidity, while the strawberries determine how much sweetener is necessary.
The quantities make one serving. Measure the ingredients before mixing and chill any mixer. Syrups, juices and bottled alternatives vary in sweetness and acidity, so taste the base before topping up.
Ingredients for one serving
- 150 g frozen strawberries
- 25 ml lime juice
- 15 ml simple syrup
- 50 ml cold water
- Optional 30 g ice
Method
- Let the strawberries soften slightly if your blender struggles with hard fruit.
- Blend with lime, syrup and water.
- Check consistency and add ice only if needed.
- Pour directly into a chilled glass.
Getting the balance right
Excess ice makes the drink firm but weak in flavour. Frozen strawberries provide both chilling and fruit. If the blender stalls, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than pouring in a large amount of juice, preserving control over the frozen texture.
Variation and substitutions
Fresh strawberries need more ice; start with 80 g and adjust. To use a rum alternative, replace 30 ml water with the non-alcoholic product and check sweetness again.
Preparing several servings
Measure juice, purée and syrup shortly before serving. Add ice and carbonated ingredients when you make the drink. To serve a group, multiply the quantities, but adjust one glass first before mixing the whole pitcher.
Common question
Can I freeze the finished drink?
For a consistent texture, prepare the fruit and blend fresh. A fully frozen finished drink needs processing again.
