A Strawberry Coconut Daiquiri is like a little tropical vacation in a glass. It’s so good!
This drink is sweet, creamy, and just the right amount of refreshing. This recipe is great for when you have guests over, want to relax at home, or just want something entertaining to drink. Also, it’s so simple to create that you’ll feel like a pro bartender right away.
Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup of canned, full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup of white rum (or leave it out for a non-alcoholic variation)
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of simple syrup (or honey for a natural choice)
- 1 cup of ice
- Optional: whipped coconut cream on the top
- Fresh strawberry slices and crushed coconut for decoration
Tools needed
- Mixing tool
- Citrus squeezer or hand juicer
- Spoons and cups for measuring
- Serve in a tall glass
- Add a straw or cocktail umbrella as a garnish.
You can mix the drink without the ice ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Just add the ice and combine it again quickly when you’re ready to serve.
Instructions
- Get the glass ready
Put some lime juice on a small platter. Put the rim of a tall glass in lime juice, then put it in a plate of shredded coconut and press down lightly to coat the rim. Put aside. - Mix the Daiquiri
Put the ice, simple syrup, rum, lime juice, coconut milk, and frozen strawberries in the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Put it in a glass
Pour the blended daiquiri slowly into the glass that has been prepared with the coconut-rimmed edge. Leave about an inch of room at the top for decoration. - Add some color
Put whipped coconut cream, a fresh strawberry, and a lovely cocktail umbrella on top. For added flair, add a little bit of shredded coconut on top.
- Serve and have fun!
Put in a straw, relax, and enjoy your trip to the tropics!
Tips & Variations
- Use frozen strawberries to get the perfect slushy texture without adding too much ice.
- Want a version without alcohol? Don’t bother with the rum; it still tastes great!
- Add a little coconut water or additional coconut milk to your daiquiri if it feels too thick to make it easier to drink.
- To make it even more unique, dip the lip of the glass in lime juice and then in crushed coconut.
- Start with a lower speed on your blender, then speed it up to make a drink that is smooth and velvety.
- No coconut milk? You may use almond milk or even ordinary milk, but it won’t be as creamy.
- If you prefer a natural sweetener, use honey or agave instead of simple syrup.
- For a more tropical flavor, add some pineapple juice.
- If you want to make it light, don’t add the whipped coconut cream.
Storage & Leftovers
If you have any daiquiri left over, put it in a container that can go in the freezer and freeze it. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then stir or blend it again when you’re ready to eat it again.
