Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiri (Printable)

A frozen mix combining fresh strawberries and pineapple with lime and rum for a bright, refreshing summer drink.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
02 - 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

→ Liquids

03 - 1 cup white rum
04 - 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 4 limes)
05 - 1/2 cup simple syrup
06 - 1/2 cup water

→ Optional

07 - 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey for additional sweetness

# Directions:

01 - In a blender, combine strawberries, pineapple, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and water. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add additional sweetener if desired.
02 - Pour the blended mixture evenly into 6 resealable freezer-safe pouches or sturdy zip-top bags, distributing approximately 2/3 cup per pouch. Seal tightly, pressing out excess air.
03 - Lay the pouches flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely solid.
04 - Remove a pouch from the freezer. Gently knead or run under warm water for a few seconds to soften. Pour into a glass or serve directly from the pouch with a straw.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Make them on a lazy Saturday and forget about them until party day—they're basically edible procrastination.
  • No fancy cocktail skills required; a blender and freezer are your only real tools here.
  • The strawberry-pineapple combo tastes like a vacation in your mouth, and people will absolutely ask for the recipe.
02 -
  • The rum is essential to preventing the mixture from freezing into an icy brick—skip it or reduce it and you'll end up with a slushie instead of a proper daiquiri texture.
  • Fresh lime juice makes an enormous difference compared to bottled; I once tried the bottled version and immediately regretted it.
03 -
  • Invest in quality freezer-safe pouches with thick seals; cheap ones leak and ruin everything in your freezer, which I discovered the hard way.
  • If a pouch is too frozen to serve, don't microwave it—just run it under warm water for ten seconds and knead gently until it reaches that perfect slushy consistency.
