The Frozen Daiquiri is the icy summer version of the Cuban classic: rum, fresh lime and sugar are blended with crushed ice into a creamy texture. Refreshing, light and perfect for hot days. A drink that was not for nothing among Hemingway’s favourites.

Instructions

  1. Add rum, lime juice and sugar syrup to the blender.
  2. Add crushed ice.
  3. Blend briefly on high until the mixture is creamy.
  4. Pour into a chilled coupe.
  5. Garnish with a lime slice and serve.

Garnish: Lime slice

Pro tip: Use plenty of crushed ice and blend only briefly so the consistency stays nicely creamy and does not become too watery.

Frequently asked questions

What sets the Frozen Daiquiri apart from the classic Daiquiri?

The classic Daiquiri is shaken and strained, whereas the Frozen Daiquiri is blended with crushed ice into a creamy, icy consistency.

Can I add fruit?

Yes, the Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri with strawberries is a popular variation. Banana or mango work very well too.

Which rum is best?

A light white rum from Cuba or Puerto Rico is a classic match. It lets the fresh lime shine.
