Here's a simple and classic Strawberry Daiquiri recipe — perfect for summer or whenever you want something fruity and refreshing:
1 oz white rum
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 cup frozen strawberries (or fresh + ice)
1/2 to 1 cup ice (optional if using frozen berries)
Add all ingredients to a blender:
White rum, lime juice, simple syrup, strawberries, and ice (if needed).
Blend until smooth and slushy.
Taste and adjust: Add more syrup for sweetness or more lime for tartness.
Serve immediately in a chilled cocktail or hurricane glass.
Garnish with a strawberry or lime wedge.
If you want a non-frozen version, muddle fresh strawberries, shake with ice, then fine-strain into a coupe glass.
Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water — super easy to make and commonly used in cocktails, iced coffee, and desserts.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan.
Heat over medium, stirring, until the sugar fully dissolves (no need to boil).
Let it cool, then pour into a clean jar or bottle.
Store in the fridge — it’ll keep for about a month.
You can also make it cold (no heat):
Just shake sugar and water together in a jar until dissolved — takes a bit longer but works fine for small amounts.
