Mango Strawberry Daiquiri
Hey! The Mango Strawberry Daiquiri is one of my favorite fruity, refreshing drinks. It’s sweet, sour, frosty, and just the right bit of fancy.
This dish is incredibly simple to make. It’s great for family get-togethers, weekend hangouts, or just a little treat for yourself.
It’s kid-friendly provided you don’t add any alcohol, which is a plus. Believe me, everyone will want a second round. Let’s get started!
What you’ll need:
For the Daiquiri:
- 1 cup of frozen mango pieces
- 1 cup of frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 1/4 cup of lime juice (freshly squeezed is great!)
- 1/4 cup of plain syrup (add more or less to taste)
- 1/4 cup of white rum (optional for adults)
- 1 1/2 cups of ice
To decorate:
- Sliced mangoes that are fresh
- Strawberries that are fresh
- Leaves of mint
- Sugar for the edge
Things You’ll Need:
- Measuring cups and a blender
- Juicer for citrus
- Spoon Glasses
Tips for getting things ready ahead of time:
Mix the daiquiri without ice and put it in a container that won’t let air in. Blend it again with ice when you’re ready to serve to get that fresh slushy texture.
Instructions
- Get Your Blender Ready
Put the frozen mango, orange juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and half of the ice in the blender. Mix until smooth. - Pour and do it again
Put the mango mixture into a pitcher or glasses, and then wash the blender. Add the rest of the ice, the frozen strawberries, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Mix until smooth. - Optional Layering
To get that nice two-tone effect, carefully pour the strawberry mixture over the mango layer. - Add the garnish and serve
Add a slice of mango, a strawberry, and a sprig of mint as a garnish. Enjoy right away!
Professional Tips
- Frozen fruit is the best way to get the daiquiri’s beautiful slushy texture without diluting it down.
- Level of sweetness: Change the simple syrup depending on how sweet your fruit is. Taste it as you go!
- Layered look: For a fun layered cocktail, mix the mango and strawberry separately.
- Skip the rum and make it a mocktail. It’s just as good!
- Rim the glasses: To give them a little extra flair, rub a lime wedge along the rim of the glass and dip it in sugar.
Possible Changes and Replacements
- Fruit Swaps: For a tropical twist, use peaches or pineapple instead of mango.
- Instead of orange juice, try pineapple juice or even coconut water.
- No Simple Syrup? Agave or honey also works well.
- Add a Creamy Touch: For a velvety daiquiri, add a splash of coconut milk.
Tips for storing leftovers
If you have any (which is unlikely), put them in popsicle molds and freeze them for a delightful frozen treat later.
