This Strawberry Lemon Daiquiri is the frozen cocktail you’ll be sipping on repeat all summer. It’s tart, sweet, and loaded with real fruit flavor. No premade mixes here! Just frozen strawberries, lemon juice, rum, and a splash of vanilla for something a little extra. It’s fast, fresh, and way easier than it looks.

Strawberry Lemon Daiquiri

You can throw this together in five minutes flat, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. If you’re hanging out poolside, grilling in the backyard, or just kicking back after a long week, this one hits the spot.

It’s great with white rum, but it also does well with flavored options like lemon or coconut. And if you like it on the sweeter side, that’s where the simple syrup comes in.

Make a big batch or keep it small. This one’s flexible, refreshing, and won’t last long once it’s poured.

All you really need for a fantastic strawberry lemon daiquiri is a few simple ingredients.

• Frozen Strawberries – Only have fresh berries? They will work, but it is really best for this cocktail to freeze them first. It adds a lot to the final texture of the drink.
• Lemon Juice – I like fresh lemon juice for flavor, but in a pinch you can use bottled, or even some margarita mix if that's what's available.
• Rum – White rum is my favorite, but if you want to get crazy you can use coconut rum, dark rum, or even spiced rum for a little pizazz.
• Vanilla – Real vanilla only, please! No imitation, here.
• Simple Syrup – Store-bought or homemade. It adds sweetness. Do you have vanilla coffee syrup? You can use that in place of the vanilla extract and simple syrup.

How To Make This Recipe

This is just the overview so you can see what you're actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you'll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

My big beef with most frozen drinks is that they get so diluted with the ice that most recipes use to make them “frozen”. In my version, this problem is largely eliminated because the primary way these cocktails get their frosty texture is by making them with frozen berries.

1. Add Berries – First, toss your frozen berries into your blender.
2. Add Alcohol – Toss in some rum, juice from 1/2 lemon, and a few tablespoons of simple syrup.
3. Blend – You may want to add a few ice cubes to slush it up a bit. Otherwise, it turns into a bit of a strawberry sorbet, which may be exactly what you are looking for, but I wasn't this time.
