Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Blender, measuring cup, jigger, cocktail shaker, strainer, and serving glasses.

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 cups ripe papaya peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup white rum
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup adjust to taste
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wedges and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Prepare the Papaya:
  • Start by peeling and chopping the ripe papaya into small pieces. The riper the papaya, the sweeter your daiquiri will be.
  • Blend the Ingredients:
  • In a blender, combine the chopped papaya, fresh lime juice, white rum, and simple syrup. Add a handful of ice cubes (about 1 cup).
  • Blend Until Smooth:
  • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a splash of water or more rum to achieve your desired texture.
  • Taste and Adjust:
  • Taste your daiquiri and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if necessary. Blend again for a few seconds to combine.
  • Serve:
  • Pour the blended mixture into chilled glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
  • Variations
  • Frozen Papaya Daiquiri: Use frozen papaya chunks instead of fresh for a slushier texture. Just add more ice to the blender.
  • Vegan Option: The Papaya Daiquiri is naturally vegan, so no substitutions are needed.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a slice of jalapeño or a few drops of hot sauce to the blender for a spicy kick.
