Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe

Whether you are creating frozen margaritas or daiquiris, here are a few basic tips that will help you get the most from your blender.


Use frozen fruit: For most frozen drinks having a key ingredient like fruit already frozen will help you get the consistency in the final product that you want. Even thirty minutes in the freezer for most fruit will help. This also allows you to store unused fruit for later use.

Add the liquid ingredients first: For most frozen drinks add the liquid (ideally chilled) ingredients first, then the frozen fruit and finally the ice or frozen yogurt.

Start the blender at a low speed and increase speed to get the desired texture. Too thicken the drink, just add ice. Too thin? Add more fruit or liquid

Strawberry daiquiri (for two)


Ingredients:

1/4 cup light rum
2 teaspoons lime juice (ideally fresh)
2 cups of fresh frozen strawberries
2 cups of vanilla ice cream.

Place the rum and juice in the blender and mix. Then add the strawberries and ice cream and continue to blend. Start the blender on a low speed untilblending begins, then increase the speed. Pour into two cocktail or specialty glasses and garnish with a half strawberry or strawberry fan.
