What Alcohol goes in a Daiquiri?
Traditionally a Daiquiri is a rum based cocktail. A Daiquiri is a combination of a fruit flavor, a sweetener (usually cane sugar), and rum. Different kinds of rum can be used for a Daiquiri. White Rum is the most popular choice. However, light rums and occasionally dark rums can be used as well.
For this drink we chose the Malibu coconut rum. You can choose any rum you like. We would recommend a white rum or lighter rum so the flavor of the strawberries are not overwhelmed.
Is Malibu Coconut Rum Strong?
Malibu Rum is not as strong as a traditional rum. Malibu rum is 21% ABV (alcohol by volume). This is much lower than most rums which run anywhere from 40-80% ABV. Malibu Coconut Rum technically falls into the category of Liqueur. A liqueur is a spirit that has been mixed with flavoring. Liqueurs are lower ABV than the spirit they are made from.
What Fruit is in a Daiquiri?
There are countless ways to make a fruit daiquiri. This recipe for a strawberry daiquiri is an example of one of many different fruit options. Here are a few delicious fruit daiquiris to try:
- Peach
- Raspberry

What is the difference between a Frozen Daiquiri and a Frozen Margarita?
The difference between a frozen daiquiri and a frozen margarita is the liquor that each drink has. Daiquiri’s are always a rum based cocktail. Margaritas are made from tequila, and orange liqueur. Both drinks are traditionally a fruit based cocktail. Many people get these two drinks confused, but the alcohol used in these drinks is very different.

Origins of the Daiquiri Cocktail Recipe:
It’s always fun to know where your cocktails originate. The daiquiri has a Cuban history. Of course nailing down the exact facts of a cocktail history is iffy at best.
According to The Ultimate Bar Book the daiquiri was born in Cuba’s Daiquiri mountains. It was created by an American engineer in the late 1890s during the Spanish American War era for his guests.
Bartender Constantino Ribalaigua originated the frozen daiquiri in Havana’s Historic El Foridita Bar (It’s over 200 year old!).
Constantino strained the ice out of his frozen daiquiris to eliminate dilution and offer a very cold refreshing rum drink. (we opted to keep the ice).
Rum has long been known as the “milk of cuba”. The daiquiri is famous for it’s sweet subtle blending of rum, lime juice and simple syrup.

- Use FRESH limes rather than bottled lime juice. The oils in the rind help increase the flavors of this drink
- Use FRESH or frozen strawberries. The results of this recipe rely on fresh or unsweetened frozen berries. Do not use strawberry drink syrup like some people use with smoothies. I have heard of this but it will be awful in this recipe.
- To keep your drink chilled longest:
- Set your glasses in the fridge or freezer 15 to 30 minutes ahead of making your daiquiri.
- Freeze the strawberries at least 30 minutes.
- Chill the lime and rum 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Surprise! There really isn’t one glass associated with a frozen daiquiri. We have seen them made in martini, pina colada and margarita glasses most often.
We chose 12 oz. Margarita glasses and the size is PERFECT. You will get two completely filled margarita glasses.
However, any tall tom collins, cocktail, pina colada or martini glass of the same size will also work for this recipe.
