Hey there! Let’s talk about one of my all-time favorite drinks to whip up for a summer evening (or whenever you need a mini vacation in a glass)—the Strawberry Peach Daiquiri.
It’s fruity, refreshing, and oh-so-pretty with its gorgeous pink and peachy tones. Whether you’re hosting a party, having a date night at home, or just treating yourself, this daiquiri recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Bonus: it’s super easy to make and can be done with fresh or frozen fruit!
Let’s dive in.
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup peach slices (fresh or frozen)
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
- 1 oz simple syrup (or adjust to taste)
- 1 cup ice
Pro Tips
- Frozen Fruit = Instant Slushiness: Using frozen strawberries and peaches means you don’t need as much ice, and it keeps the drink extra flavorful.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste as you blend! Add more simple syrup if you like it sweeter or cut back if the fruit is naturally sweet.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the rum and add a splash of sparkling water or orange juice for a kid-friendly mocktail!
- Fancy Garnishes: A sugared rim, mint sprig, or even a paper umbrella can make this drink feel extra special.
- Blender Tip: Blend on high for a super smooth, slushy consistency.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender
- Citrus juicer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cocktail glass
- Small knife (for garnishes)
Substitutions & Variations
- Rum Alternatives: Try coconut rum for a tropical twist or swap for vodka if you’re not a rum fan.
- Fruit Options: Replace peaches with mangoes or swap strawberries for raspberries for a fun flavor change.
- Healthier Version: Use honey or agave nectar instead of simple syrup.
Make-Ahead Tips
You can pre-blend the fruit, lime juice, and simple syrup mixture and freeze it in an ice cube tray. Just blend the cubes with rum and ice when you’re ready to serve.
Instructions
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Wash and hull the strawberries, slice the peaches (if fresh), and juice your lime.
2. Blend It All Together
Add the strawberries, peaches, lime juice, simple syrup, rum, and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth and slushy.
3. Taste & Adjust
Taste the daiquiri and adjust the sweetness or lime as needed. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
4. Serve & Garnish
Pour into cocktail glasses and garnish with a strawberry, peach slice, or both. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
If you have leftovers (unlikely!), pour the daiquiri into a freezer-safe container and freeze. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw slightly and re-blend to refresh the texture.
