Frozen Daiquiri Recipe

A frozen daiquiri is the single-minded pursuit of three things: bright lime, clean rum, and an ice-crystal texture that sits somewhere between soft-serve and a cocktail snowcone. This version leans into that balance with a simple 2:1:3 ratio of rum, lime, and simple syrup to ice, which makes it endlessly scalable for a small gathering or a backyard party. Use white rum for its neutral, slightly grassy backbone and respect the lime—fresh juice keeps the drink lively and prevents the sweetness from flattening out as the slush melts.

If you want fruit, frozen strawberries are the classic swap and they bring both color and a creamy mouthfeel without watering down the drink (frozen fruit contributes liquid but also keeps temperature). The method is intentionally forgiving: pulse to break up solids, then blitz to a soft slush, tasting and adjusting for tartness or sweetness. The result is an icy, refreshing cocktail that feels celebratory but takes only minutes to produce—excellent for pool days, pre-dinner cocktails, or handing out at a casual party where guests expect bright, easy drinking rather than something fussy.
