Recipe One
Easy Basic Classic Daiquiri Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 oz (60 ml) white rum
- 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) simple syrup (made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water)
Instructions:
1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Add the white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the ingredients and mix them thoroughly.
4. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
5. Optionally, you can garnish the drink with a lime wheel or twist.
Instead of using lime juice try variations with Orange
1. Blood Orange Daiquiri: This variation uses blood orange juice instead of regular orange juice. Blood oranges have a unique flavor profile that adds richness and depth to the cocktail.
2. Orange Pineapple Daiquiri: This version combines the flavors of orange and pineapple. It typically consists of white rum, fresh orange juice, pineapple juice, and simple syrup.
3. Mandarin Daiquiri: Mandarin oranges have a sweeter and slightly tangier flavor compared to regular oranges. This variation features white rum, fresh mandarin orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
4. Orange Creamsicle Daiquiri: This variation blends orange juice, white rum, a splash of vanilla extract, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It creates a creamy, indulgent twist on the classic daiquiri.

Recipe Four
Frozen Orange Daiquiri save time and make ahead
Start here with the orange juice mix:
Mix 12 oz frozen concentrated orange juice with 24 oz of water.
Pour 5 oz of orange juice into 5 plastic cups, then add 1 oz of fresh squeezed orange, tangerine or mandarin orange to each cup totalling 6 oz of juice in each cup.
Place in freezer overnight.
Don't skimp on the rum: Choose a good quality rum for your daiquiri.
A white or silver rum works well, but feel free to experiment with different varieties to find your favorite flavor profile.
Ingredients:
8 oz crushed ice
6 oz orange mix - recipe above
1.5 oz white rum
options- sugar for riming glass or 1/2 oz simple syrup (made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water)
Instructions:
Remove frozen orange juice from plastic cups.
Combine ice, frozen orange juice mix, and white rum in a blender until it reaches a slushy texture.
Options: add 1/2 oz simple syrup for a sweeter daiquiri, and rim daiquiri glass with sugar
Notes:
Makes: 5 servings
in 6-7 oz glasses
Rum: Light or White Rum: This is the traditional choice for daiquiris. Light rum is clear and has a milder flavor profile, allowing the other ingredients, like lime and sugar, to shine.
One of the great things about this recipe is that you can prepare the orange juice mix in advance, perfectly measured and all set to use whenever you want to make a refreshing cocktail.
Today’s Helpful Housewife Hint:
Adjust the sweetness: Taste your frozen orange daiquiri as you make it and adjust the sweetness level accordingly. If it's too sweet, add a splash of lime juice to balance it out. If it's not sweet enough, add a bit of simple syrup or a sweet liqueur like grenadine.
Now all that's left to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy one of these refreshing citrus daiquiri’s!
