Method
Gather Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients. Fresh lime juice is key, so if you’re using bottled, ensure it’s high-quality.
Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the frozen raspberries, white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. If you like your daiquiri thicker, add a handful of ice cubes.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste and Adjust: From my own personal experience, the balance of sweetness and tartness is essential. Taste your mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if needed.
Serve: Pour the frozen daiquiri into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lime wheel for a fancy touch.
Enjoy!: Sip and savor your homemade frozen raspberry daiquiri while basking in the compliments from friends and family.
Tips and Substitutions
Frozen vs. Fresh: Frozen raspberries work best for this recipe as they provide a thicker texture and chill the drink perfectly. If using fresh raspberries, add extra ice to achieve the frozen effect.
Simple Syrup: To make simple syrup, combine equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow it to cool before use.
Dietary Needs: For a lower-sugar option, use a sugar substitute or agave syrup instead of simple syrup.
