Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Why you are pouring this tonight

Forget the frozen slushy machine. A real strawberry daiquiri uses fresh ripe strawberries muddled with the lime, shaken over ice, served UP in a coupe. Bright pink, mostly rum, actually a serious drink.

What changes from the Daiquiri

4 fresh ripe strawberries muddled. No blender. Served up, not frozen.

What to pour it alongside

Summer entertaining: tomato tarts, goat’s cheese salads, crispy prosciutto.
