Making Frozen Daiquiris

Frozen daiquiri recipes are easy to make, especially if you have a good blender like the popular Oster Beehive blender. A good blender with a strong motor is able to easy to crush ice, which is absolutely essential if you want to make a good daiquiris.

It's also best if the blender container is made of glass or metal instead of plastic. The glass and metal blender containers don't stain or crack, although if you drop a glass container on a hard floor you could be cleaning up some broken glass!

Here are a couple of great frozen daiquiri recipes:

Strawberry Daiquiri
  • 1.5 oz Strawberry Schnapps
  • 1 oz Light Rum
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 1 tsp Powdered Sugar
  • 1 oz Strawberries
  • 2 C Ice

Mango Daiquiri
  • 3/4 C Ripe mango, diced
  • 1/3 C Lime juice
  • 3 T Sugar
  • 1/3 C Rum
  • 5 C Ice

For either of the frozen daiquiri recipes listed above, take all ingredients and place them in the blender container.

Choose the most powerful blend setting. If your blender has a pulse features, here's a good chance to use it. Hit the pulse button a few times to break the cubes up a bit.

After the ice cubes are broken up, use a medium power selection to continue crushing the ice. Blend until you reach the desired smoothness.

It's best to start off with the amount of ice slowly add more if needed. This concoction can then be poured into a chilled glass and served.
