Strawberry Daiquiri Ingredients
There are no hidden ingredients you can’t pronounce (you know, the ones you’d typically find in store-bought daiquiri mixes!) in this strawberry daiquiri! Just 5 simple ingredients away from the most delicious daiquiri you’ve ever had:
Frozen Strawberries: We love starting with frozen strawberries instead of using ice cubes to give this strawberry daiquiri its blended texture. You can either freeze your own or buy bagged frozen strawberries from the grocery store.
White Rum: We recommend white rum for a proper daiquiri, but if you don’t have any on hand, vodka will work as well.
Honey Simple Syrup: A honey simple syrup is what gives this strawberry daiquiri its sweetness without adding any refined sugars! Agave can also be used with a 1:1 ratio!
Lime Juice: We love the flavor of fresh-squeezed lime juice. You just can’t beat it! We always recommend fresh lime juice over store-bought.
What can I use instead of rum?
Don’t have white rum? We recommend swapping it for vodka or tequila instead.
How to Make Honey Simple Syrup
Not only is does this honey simple syrup make this strawberry daiquiri refined sugar free, but we absolutely love the combination of strawberry and honey together.
- Make your simple syrup by placing honey and water into a small saucepan.
- Bring the honey and water to a boil, and then reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes until the honey dissolves.
- Transfer honey simple syrup into a jar and chill in the fridge for later.
Pro tip: Stirring consistently will prevent the honey from burning to the bottom of your saucepan.
Got extra simple syrup?
Honey simple syrup is one of my favorite things to keep on hands for cocktails, lattes, and baking. Store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Can I use a regular simple syrup instead?
Yes! Feel free to make a simple syrup out of white sugar. Use the same method as above, but swap the honey for sugar.
Try it!

Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 cups frozen strawberries
- 3/4 cup white rum, 6 oz.
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 oz.
- optional garnish: lime slices and fresh mint for serving
Instructions
- First, prepare honey simple syrup. Place honey and water into a medium saucepan and heat over medium/high heat.
- Whisk until honey has dissolved into the water and then remove from heat.
- Place frozen strawberries, rum, and lime juice into a high-speed blender. Then, add in 1/2 cup of the honey simple syrup.
- Blend on high, stopping to scrape the sides. Your daiquiri is supposed to be thick, but if your strawberries are very frozen, you may need to add a little water to thin things out a bit.
- Taste the daiquiri and add more honey simple syrup (you should have a little left over) as needed.
- Serve immediately with fresh lime slices and mint.
