The flavor is pure, using real berries! Who knows what’s in those store-bought daiquiri mixes. This daiquiri is made of real frozen berries and lime, giving it a lush flavor. It’s perfectly sweetened. Some strawberry daiquiris are overly sweet, but not this one. It’s sweetened just enough so you can enjoy the pure berry flavor without a sugar crash. Pure maple syrup is a natural sweetener that we love: it gently sweetens and adds flavor nuance (without making it taste like maple).
Use good quality rum. The better the quality of rum, the tastier the drink. Look for a bottle in the mid-price range, around $15 to $20 for a 750 ml bottle. Use best quality frozen strawberries. We tried this with a few different types of frozen berries, and it tastes much better with the best quality brand. Freeze or chill your rum (optional). When we made this strawberry daiquiri recipe, we chilled our rum in a cocktail shaker to get it really cold. You also can throw the rum in the freezer the night before to keep the drink very cold.
