Happy weekend, my friend! Speaking of weekends, how do you usually spend it? Well, a typical weekend for us is backyard grilling with a couple of refreshing drinks. And if you’re like me, who stocks up on fresh strawberries before they go out of season, here’s what you can make with them, frozen strawberry daiquiris. 😍 I’ve already mentioned that I’m not the alcohol type, but this one is right up my alley. A good frozen strawberry daiquiri recipe has served hubby and me well on many of our Friday Netflix nights. But what’s really the difference between a margarita and a daiquiri? First off, frozen daiquiris use a rum and fresh lime juice combo, while margaritas use lime juice, tequila, and triple sec (an orange liqueur). Second, you serve a margarita in a special margarita glass instead of the cocktail glass for a daiquiri. And lastly, the margarita glass is rimmed with salt, while daiquiris aren’t.
Strawberry Daiquiri Ingredients
Daiquiris usually enjoy a mix of rum, citrus juice, and sugar (or another sweetener). And the most popular is, of course, a strawberry daiquiri. It’s SUPER EASY with only 6 ingredients:
How to Make a Strawberry Daiquiri
This drink is way easier to make than it sounds.
Blend – Simply pour all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour – Then pour it into a serving glass (filling it about ⅓ full), top it with ice cream, finish it off with another layer of strawberry daiquiri mix, and serve. And you could top it with whipped cream. Serve!
So instead of going out for a few drinks, why don’t you make them cheaper at home? And you don’t have to designate a driver. Woohoo!

Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions
To make strawberry daiquiris ahead of time, start by blending fresh strawberries, lime juice, sugar, and rum in a blender. Once the daiquiri mix is smooth, pour it into a container (preferably BPA-free plastic) with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the freezer. When you’re ready to serve, simply take it out of the freezer to thaw for a few minutes. Then give it a quick stir and pour it into glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberries, and enjoy! Making strawberry daiquiris ahead of time is a great timesaver and lets you enjoy a tasty cocktail whenever you want.
