What Is a Daiquiri?
A Daiquiri cocktail comprises white rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. This simple but flavorful mixture has spawned many varieties of the daiquiri.
What’s In a Strawberry Daiquiri?
- Frozen Strawberries—Instead of ice in this cocktail, frozen strawberries will chill and thicken the drink while providing a rich strawberry flavor.
- Fresh Strawberries—The fresher the strawberries you can get, the better, but any will work. Fresh strawberries will thicken the frozen cocktail and provide a fresh, fruity flavor.
- Simple Syrup—This will dial up the cocktail’s sweetness and offset any bitter flavors. The amount of simple syrup added can be modified to suit your taste.
- White Rum—Bacardi is a go-to white rum for any daiquiri recipe. It will add an alcohol kick to your cocktail.
- Lime Juice – I recommend fresh squeezing your own lime juice. Lime juice is going to add a bright citrus kick that is going to play off the sweet strawberry flavor beautifully.
- Garnish – A lime wheel or wedge placed on the rim of the glass is the perfect finishing touch for this cocktail.

How to Serve Strawberry Daiquiris
A strawberry daiquiri can be served in a variety of glasses. A stemmed glass like a coupe, martini, or margarita glass works great for frozen drinks because it keeps your fingers off the cold drink. A stemless wine glass is a lower-profile option that is easier to handle than a top-heavy stemmed glass.
As a final touch to elevate the presentation of your cocktail, I recommend using a lime wheel or wedge and a strawberry.
