Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Blender
  • Jigger (or a small measuring cup)
  • Cocktail glasses (preferably coupe or margarita-style glasses)
  • Ice cubes (1-2 cups)
  • Straw (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 oz. white rum light rum works best, but you can substitute with vodka if you prefer
  • 1 oz. coconut cream unsweetened for a lighter option, or sweetened if you want a richer flavor
  • 1 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 oz. simple syrup adjust to taste for sweetness
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess, or light coconut milk for fewer calories
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
  • Shredded coconut for garnish
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions:
  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. It helps to have everything ready before you begin. Juice your lime and measure out your rum, coconut cream, coconut milk, and simple syrup.
  • Step 2: Add Ingredients to the Blender
  • Let me show you how I make this drink by adding all the ingredients in one go into the blender. Combine the rum, coconut cream, lime juice, simple syrup, coconut milk, and ice cubes. The ice will give it that slushy, frozen texture, while the coconut cream and milk provide richness.
  • Step 3: Blend It All Together
  • Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds until everything is well combined, and you achieve a smooth, frothy texture. Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, you can add a little extra coconut milk or water to loosen it up. If you like it thicker, just add more ice and blend again.
  • Step 4: Serve Your Daiquiri
  • Pour the daiquiri into chilled cocktail glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top to give it a tropical look. You can also add a straw if you like sipping it that way.
  • Variations and Substitutions:
  • Dietary Substitution for Vegans:
  • You can easily make this drink vegan by ensuring the coconut cream and coconut milk are plant-based. Most coconut products are naturally dairy-free, so you should be good to go. However, make sure your simple syrup is made with white sugar that is not processed with animal products.
  • Low-Calorie Option:
  • If you’re watching your calorie intake, swap out the simple syrup for a zero-calorie sweetener like Stevia. You can also use light coconut milk instead of full-fat to save on calories.
  • Booze-Free (Mocktail) Version:
  • Want to enjoy the flavors without alcohol? Simply leave out the rum and replace it with an equal amount of coconut water for a refreshing, non-alcoholic version.
  • Extra Fruity Twist:
  • For a fun twist, blend in some frozen pineapple or mango for a tropical burst of flavor. This also helps thicken the drink naturally if you're using fewer ice cubes.
