Method

1. Prep Your Ingredients: If you’re using fresh blackberries, wash them thoroughly and freeze them for about an hour. This helps give your drink that frosty texture. If you’re using frozen ones, you’re good to go.
2. Blend It Up: In a blender, combine the frozen blackberries, white rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend on high speed until smooth. The mixture should have a slushy consistency.
3. Taste and Adjust: Here’s where you can make it your own! Taste the mixture. If you want it sweeter, add more simple syrup. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or more rum to thin it out. Blend again until mixed.
4. Serve: Pour the mixture into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh blackberries and a slice of lime for that extra touch.
5. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your Frozen Blackberry Daiquiri!

Variations

• Berry Blend: Substitute blackberries with other berries like strawberries or raspberries for a different flavor. You can also blend various berries together for a mixed berry daiquiri.
• Non-Alcoholic: Omit the rum and add more lime juice or sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.
• Sweetener Alternatives: Use agave syrup, honey, or stevia instead of simple syrup if you prefer a healthier sweetener.

Tips and Substitutions

• For Dietary Needs: This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. If you’re looking to reduce sugar, consider using fresh fruit instead of simple syrup.
• Frozen Fruit: If fresh blackberries are out of season or too pricey, using frozen ones is a great alternative that won’t sacrifice flavor.

Troubleshooting Tips
