Favorite Strawberry Daiquiri Recipes
This original recipe was turned on its head by making frozen varieties. The most popular is the frozen strawberry daiquiri which can be found at most bars; in fact, the frozen strawberry daiquiri is the most popular drink served at Medieval Times where the basic mix is in a slushy machine with rum being added after it's dispensed.
The basic concept of the frozen daiquiri (as with most frozen drinks) is that the ice is pulverized to a fine mess then stirred into the drink. Many recipes call for throwing all the ingredients, including the ice, inside a blender and running it until the drink is mixed and the ice properly crushed.

Ingredients
- 9 cups of water
- 2 cups of sugar (or sugar substitute)
- 20 ounces of strawberry daiquiri mix
- 2 cups of spiced rum.
- 12 ounces of frozen orange juice
- 20 ounces frozen strawberries
- Lemon or lemon-lime soda (such as 7-up)
Instructions
- Before you begin, thaw out both the strawberries and the orange juice so that they are of a chunky consistency. If the strawberries are particularly large, you may want to run them through the blender. Alternately, you can use fresh strawberry puree.
- Pour the water and sugar into a saucepan.
- Heat the pan until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring regularly.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool.
- Add the mix and spiced rum.
- Stir in the frozen orange juice and strawberries
