The Strawberry Daiquiri is a vibrant, fruity cocktail that perfectly blends tropical flair with irresistible berry sweetness. Known for its bright red color, icy texture, and refreshing flavor, this drink is a go-to favorite for summer parties, beach vacations, or any occasion that calls for a cool, feel-good cocktail. Whether served frozen or shaken over ice, the Strawberry Daiquiri captures the essence of carefree, sunny days in every sip.
At its heart, the daiquiri is a simple mix of three key ingredients: white rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar. The strawberry version enhances this classic with the addition of ripe strawberries, either fresh or frozen, creating a burst of flavor that’s both sweet and slightly tart. When blended with ice, it becomes a slushy-style drink that’s as fun to sip as it is to serve.
What makes the Strawberry Daiquiri stand out is its perfect balance of flavors. The sweetness of the strawberries and sugar contrasts beautifully with the citrus tang of lime and the subtle warmth of rum. It’s light, fruity, and incredibly smooth, ideal for those who prefer a sweeter cocktail without too much alcohol bite.
Making a Strawberry Daiquiri at home is easy. Simply blend white rum, strawberries, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice until smooth. Adjust the sweetness to taste, and garnish with a fresh strawberry or lime wedge for that extra touch. For a shaken version, muddle the strawberries and shake all ingredients with ice before straining into a chilled glass.
Whether you’re hosting a gathering or just unwinding after a long day, the Strawberry Daiquiri offers a deliciously festive way to relax. It’s a true classic that never goes out of style—bright, beautiful, and bursting with flavor.

Just tried this for the first time and it was the best ever! Can’t believe how easy it was!
OMG, I’m making this for my friend’s birthday! Can’t wait to see their face! 🎉
Too much lime juice! I can hardly taste the strawberries. 😩
Are you sure it’s too much? I thought it balanced the sweetness perfectly. 🤔
I actually love the tartness! Maybe just use less lime next time? 😃
I made this for a party and it was a hit. Everyone loved it!
I tried making this but it turned out super watery. Did I use too much ice? 🤔
Good recipe but not enough lime for me! I like it tangy.
I totally agree! Adding a little more lime would make it perfect! 🍋
Yum! I added some mint leaves and it made it even better! Definitely a keeper.
I dunno if I did it right, but this doesn’t taste like the ones they serve at the bar. More rum maybe??
This drink is sooooo goood! I made it for friends and they loved it!
This recipe is easy peasy! I’m not much of a cook and I nailed it! 👍
Congrats! Strawberry daiquiris are super easy and yummy. Glad you enjoyed it! 🍓🍹
I dunno, seems too simple. Can it really be that good with just a few ingredients? 🤔
Easy peasy! Love how quick it is to whip up. Perfect for parties! 🍹😊
This was amazing! I used frozen strawberries instead and it still turned out delicious. Perfect for a summer party!
I never thought to use frozen strawberries! That’s a great idea, especially when fresh ones aren’t available. Thanks for the tip!
This was my first time making a daiquiri and it turned out great!! Way easier than I thought!
Isn’t this just another smoothie? Where’s the fun?
Is it really that easy? I wasn’t sure about the rum part…
I found it way too sweet. I think I should’ve cut down on the syrup. Maybe another time.
I actually love it sweet! Maybe try using less syrup next time or even using a sugar alternative? It might balance it out better.
Too much rum for my taste, next time I’ll cut it down to 1.5 oz. Yikes!
I made this for my party and everyone loved it! So simple and tasty!
I dunno, it tasted a bit too sweet for me. Maybe less syrup next time. Not what I expected.
This was the best daiquiri I’ve ever made! So refreshing for summer! 🍓🍹
Can I use frozen strawberries instead? I don’t have fresh ones.
It don’t have no alcohol taste… supposed to feel buzzed! Disappointed.
You might not be using enough rum! Try adding more next time.
I think it’s good without a strong alcohol taste. Just makes it refreshing! 🍹
The recipe says fresh strawberries, but can I use frozen ones? What do you think?
You can definitely use frozen strawberries! Just make sure to adjust the amount of ice since they’ll add a bit of chill on their own.
I don’t know about frozen ones. They might not taste as fresh, ya know? But you could try, I guess.
Yum! Perfect for summer parties! 🍓🌞
I made this, but forgot the rum. Still tasted okay. Just fruity ice!
Still sounds good! Fruity ice is perfect for summer. 🍓
But like, how can you forget the rum in a daiquiri?!
RUM? I thought it was a kid drink! Why is there alcohol in it? Not cool.
It’s not a kid drink because it’s a cocktail! The rum adds flavor and kick. Just be sure to make a non-alcoholic version if you want it for kids!
Super easy recipe, but where do I find simple syrup? Can I make my own? 🤔
Is this even a real drink or just a glorified smoothie? 🤷♂️
It’s definitely a real drink! Smoothies are usually just fruit and yogurt, but this has alcohol in it! 🍹
This was such a refreshing drink! Perfect for summer parties. Will make again! 🍓
Just made this and it was delicious! I added a little mint for a twist. 🍓
This was so refreshing! Perfect for a summer day. I love strawberries!
Simple to make but why does it taste weird? 🙁
I think it’s just the rum taste, not everyone is used to it. Maybe try it without rum next time!
It might be the lime juice; if it’s too sour, it can make the drink taste off. Try less or use a sweeter lime!
Looks delish but I don’t drink. What can I substitute the rum with? Anyone?
You could use club soda or ginger ale for a non-alcoholic twist! Just add a bit more lime juice to keep the flavor.
I don’t know about fresh lime juice… I used the bottled stuff and it was fine. Still tasted good!
I don’t think this is a real daiquiri. Where’s the blended ice? 🤔
Actually, the ice is in the recipe! It gets blended with everything else. 😅
A daiquiri is a daiquiri! Who cares about the ice? Just enjoy it! 🍹
This is lit! Made me feel like I was on a tropical beach! 🏖️
How much does this make? I need to make it for a big party.
This is the best daiquiri recipe I’ve ever tried! So refreshing!
I tried this recipe and it was kinda bland. Maybe I didn’t add enough rum? 🤔
I always add an extra splash of rum! It makes it taste way better! 🍹
I made this for my dad’s birthday… he said it tasted like candy!! LOL!
That’s awesome! Sounds like a hit! 😄 Definitely going to try it for my birthday too!
Yum, but how can it be a daiquiri without bananas? Aren’t they supposed to be in it? Lol.
I didn’t have fresh strawberries so I used frozen and it turned out fine! Still yummy!
I tried it, but it turned out too sweet for my taste. Maybe less syrup next time?
I think you’re right! The syrup can really add a lot of sweetness. I usually just put a little and taste as I go.
This was soooo good! I added a bit of sugar and it was perfect! 🍓🍹
Simple and delicious. Also, I used frozen strawberries and it worked great!
I tried using frozen too, it turned out just as yummy! Thanks for sharing your experience!
that’s not a daiquiri, it’s just slush with strawberries! where’s the creativity?
This Strawberry Daiquiri turned out fantastic! So refreshing for summer parties!
I tried making this but it didn’t turn out right. My blender is old and struggled with the ice. Maybe I should try again with fresh berries.
Fresh berries are def the way to go! But even with an old blender, just work in smaller batches while chopping the ice can help! Don’t give up!
I get it! Old blenders can be a pain. Maybe try blending the strawberries and liquids first, then add the ice slowly? That might help!
Just called my friend to tell them about this recipe! Can’t wait to try! 🍹
This was delicious! A perfect summer drink. The strawberries are so fresh and sweet!
Too much rum! I couldn’t even taste the strawberries. What’s the point?
Best daiquiris I ever had! Will make again!
I’m glad you loved them! They are super refreshing for summer!
Best? Really? I think mine were better without the syrup!
Uh, isn’t Daiquiri made with other fruits too? I think this is wrong…
Yummy! Just whut I needed for my backyard party. Everyone loved it! 🍹
Looks good, but I don’t get why you need simple syrup? Strawberries are sweet enough on their own!
So glad everyone enjoyed it! It’s the perfect drink for summer vibes! 🍓🍹
very good drink, but I accidentally put in 2 oz of syrup instead of 1. Oops! 😂
Not sure ‘white rum’ is the best option. You can use dark rum, too, right? Just saying…
It’s ok, but I prefer a mix from the store. Guess I’m a lil picky.
Not sure why everyone loves this. It was too sour for me. How do people like the taste of lime so much?
I tried this recipe, but it was too sweet for my taste. Maybe less syrup next time?
I totally get that! Strawberries can be really sweet. Maybe try using less syrup next time or add more lime to balance it out!
I had to blend it like twice because it was chunky. Not impressed.
Easy to make but you might want to skip the syrup if you’re watching sugar. I added a bit more rum instead and it was fine.
Y’all, this feels like a summer vacation in a glass! ☀️
Very easy to make! I added a splash of soda water for some fizz and it was a hit! 🍹
