What kind of rum is best for a Strawberry Daiquiri?
Classically, it’s a clear white rum rather than a darker or aged variety that is used in a Strawberry Daiquiri and you can use a more budget-friendly option like Bacardi that will still give you a smooth tasting cocktail overall. You can try a darker rum but it will change the lightness and bright flavor of the drink.
Can you make this a virgin Strawberry Daiquiri?
Yep! All you have to do is leave out the rum and you’ll have a virgin strawberry slushy mocktail. You can even add in a little lemon-lime soda at the end to give it some extra flavor.

Ingredients
- Strawberries: The combination of frozen and fresh strawberries add a frozen slushy quality to the drink while the fresh strawberries thin it out a bit so it’s not too thick to drink.
- Sugar: Adding some simple syrup to the drink will add a little sweetness to balance out the lime.
- Lime: Fresh lime juice is best to give this cocktail a tart twist.
- Rum: White rum is the most popular choice for a daiquiri due to its lighter taste and it’s what we prefer.
Daiquiris are traditionally served in hurricane glasses, but you can also use a tall tumbler-style glass if you wish.
