Flavor variations abound. Toss in a handful of frozen or fresh strawberries to make a frozen strawberry daiquiri, or experiment with other fruit and whip up a peach daiquiri, banana daiquiri, mango daiquiri, and so on. Different fruits have varying amounts of sugar, so adjust your lime juice and sweetener to keep flavors balanced.
The best rum to use is up to you. Choose white rum for a frozen daiquiri with a cool, fresh flavor profile, or swap in an equal amount of aged rum to give your drink a warmer character. Or go half and half with a crisp white rum and richer dark rum. We don’t recommend spiced rum here because its added flavor can overwhelm the cocktail’s citrus-forward tang.
