Cocktail of the week: Make this mouthwatering Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri for National Daiquiri Day

Post Thumbnail

Our Cocktail of the Week is the perfect addition to any summer barbecue or get together, and there’s a non-alcoholic version, too.

Sunday (July 19) marks National Daiquiri Day, a day where all fans of the popular Caribbean spirit, rum, can celebrate their favourite tipple.

And even if rum isn’t your go-to you’ll be eager to try out our easy-to-make frozen strawberry daiquiris.

Packed with fresh (or frozen) strawberries, a splash of lime juice, and plenty of rum and ice, this is one drink you can easily sip away in the summer sun.

Perfect for making a quick batch cocktail in the blender, it’s one of those drinks which requires minimum work but provides maximum flavour.

Fancy whipping up some drinks for you, your friends or family? We’ve got a great recipe to try and we’ve also got a non-alcoholic daiquiri, the Dry-quiri Mocktail, from Adrian Gomes of The Tippling House in Aberdeen.

And if you fancy putting your bartending skills to the test, why not try out his refreshing Cucumber Daiquiri with homemade cucumber juice.
