A strawberry daiquiri is the perfect way to sweeten up your summer. This boozy frozen cocktail will make you feel like you're on vacation.

What Is a Daiquiri?

A daiquiri is a type of cocktail that blends rum, citrus juice, and sugar. Daiquiris can be served chilled, over ice, or frozen (like this one!). There are plenty of types of daiquiris, but one of the most common variations is frozen strawberry daiquiri.

What's In a Strawberry Daiquiri?

Here's what you'll need to make a frozen strawberry daiquiri at home:

· Ice: Frozen strawberry daiquiris are all about the slush, so ice is a must.
· Sugar: Strawberries add their own sweetness, but white sugar takes things up a notch.
· Strawberries: Use store-bought frozen strawberries. If you have a bounty of fresh berries, freeze your own or just use them fresh.
· Juices: You'll need lime juice and lemon juice.
· Rum: Classic daiquiris are made with white rum.
· Soda: Opt for a lemon-lime carbonated soda, such as Sprite.
