Notes

  • Want a frozen strawberry daiquiri? Place the ingredients along with ΒΌ cup of frozen strawberries in a blender and pulse until well combined.
  • Don't have fresh lime juice? You can use bottled instead.
  • Don't own coupe glasses? Pour your classic drink into a martini glass or your favorite cocktail glass.
  • Don't have Cuban rum? Bacardi Rum is a good alternative. Dark rum can also be used in a pinch.
  • Some people like their daiquiris with some Maraschino, if you're one of these people add a quarter-ounce of maraschino liqueur.
  • Don't have white granulated sugar for the simple syrup? Use brown sugar instead.
