What is a Daiquiri?
A daiquiri is a tropical cocktail made with three main ingredients:
- rum
- citrus juice
- sweetener
The base is simple but you can jazz them up with flavors like strawberry, hibiscus, or key lime.
A frozen daiquiri is when ice cubes are added and blended together. The only difference is that instead of shaking it, you’re blending it.
They’re the perfect girl’s night drink.

- White rum
- Key lime juice. You can use either bottled (I like Nellie & Joe’s) or juice from fresh key limes

If you don’t have agave, you can use cooled simple syrup (which is equal parts sugar and water, simmer over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved).
