Make a tasty strawberry daiquiri from scratch at home. This recipe tastes just like what you would order out. The powdered sugar and lime juice give this daiquiri the perfect flavor. When you order a strawberry daiquiri in a restaurant or bar, they are often made with pre-made mixes. When you learn to make them from scratch, you will enjoy a cocktail without unnatural preservatives added. This is sure to be a hit at parties as well.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 oz. light rum
  • 1/2 oz. strawberry schnapps
  • 1 tsp. powdered sugar
  • 1 oz. lime juice
  • 1 oz. strawberries
Step1
Put ice in a blender.
Step2
Pour light rum into blender.
Step3
Pour strawberry schnapps into blender.
Step4
Put powdered sugar into blender.
Step5
Pour lime juice into blender.
Step6
Add strawberries You can use frozen or fresh. I personally prefer fresh.
Step7
Blend everything until smooth, then pour into a cocktail glass. If you have fresh strawberries, you can garnish the drink with one by cutting a slit from the tip to about the middle and sliding it onto the rum of the glass. You may also garnish it with a wedge of lime.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you have some larger pieces of ice that just won't break up in the blender, pour through a strainer into the cocktail glass.
  • Make sure your blender can crush ice. Using a blender that isn't intended for ice crushing can burn out the motor or cause injury.
