Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Gather Ingredients:
  • Make sure you have all your ingredients ready. Fresh lime juice gives the best flavor, so squeeze your limes just before using.
  • Blend the Base:
  • In a blender, combine the light rum, fresh lime juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Add a cup of ice cubes to the blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Adjust Sweetness:
  • Taste your mixture. If it’s too tart, you can add a bit more simple syrup. Blend again if needed.
  • Prepare the Glasses:
  • Chill your cocktail glasses in the freezer for a few minutes. This will keep your drink nice and cool.
  • Shake It Up:
  • If you prefer a frosty texture, pour the blended mixture into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This step adds extra chill to your drink!
  • Strain and Serve:
  • Strain the mixture into the chilled glasses. You can use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth pour.
  • Garnish:
  • Finish with a lime wedge on the rim and a few fresh cranberries for a pop of color.
  • Enjoy!
  • Sip and enjoy the refreshing taste of your Cranberry Lime Daiquiri!
  • Variations
  • Frozen Cranberry Lime Daiquiri: Use frozen cranberries instead of ice for a slushy texture.
  • Mocktail Version: Substitute rum with sparkling water or soda for a non-alcoholic option. This is great for gatherings where not everyone drinks.
  • Flavored Daiquiris: Experiment with adding different fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or mango for a unique twist.
