Frozen Daiquiri

If there’s one great rum drink, it’s the daiquiri. This classic combination of lime, sweetener and white rum was born in Cuba in the 1800’s, and it’s just as popular today! While today’s daiquiri drinkers often assume a frozen puree, the classic version of this drink is shaken and strained, served straight up in a cocktail glass. Add ice and blend it together for endless variations of frozen daiquiris, which rose to popularity in the US in the 1990’s.

Here are all the best daiquiri recipes to enjoy rum paired with all sorts of fruity flavors! Try the Classic Daiquiri and Hemingway Daiquiri for historical classics. Then blend with ice and frozen fruit for strawberry, mango, pineapple and more.

And now…the top daiquiri recipes to try!

  1. thank you for all of these and especially for the less sugary ones, I’d lived in total ignorance somehow of the Hemingway margarita, great set of ingredients, and thought I’d known a lot about Hemingway!

  2. Do you think your classic Daquari mix would work in a slushy machine? we have an event coming up and thought it would an good idea to have cocktails on tap :-)

    1. I’m sorry! We don’t have any experience with a slushie machine — I’m not sure the proportions it takes to get the right consistency. Maybe it would be better to start with the frozen daiquiri recipe?
