About this recipe
This is a blended mocktail made with frozen strawberries, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a little water. It’s thick, cold, and tastes like a proper strawberry daiquiri – just without the rum. The frozen strawberries do all the work and give you that smooth slushie texture without needing to add a lot of ice.
It makes two glasses, which makes it a great one for sharing. The whole thing comes together in about two minutes once your strawberries are frozen, which makes it one of the easiest drinks on the site. For more alcohol-free drink ideas, browse my mocktail recipes.
Key ingredients and why
- Frozen strawberries: The base of the drink and what gives it that smooth, icy texture. Frozen are better than fresh here because they chill the drink without watering it down. If your strawberries aren’t frozen, hull them and pop them in the freezer until firm.
- Fresh lime juice: The sour element that stops the drink tasting flat and overly sweet. Always fresh.
- Simple syrup: Adds sweetness. You can adjust the amount to taste depending on how sweet your strawberries are.
- Water: Just enough to help the blender do its job and get the right consistency.
Method
- Add the frozen strawberries, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and water to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more water and blend again.
- Pour into two glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry and a lime slice.
- Garnish with sliced strawberries or lime slices, and then serve.
Tips
- Use frozen strawberries. Fresh strawberries won’t give you the same thick, icy texture. If yours aren’t frozen, hull them and freeze them first.
- Blend until completely smooth. Any chunks of frozen strawberry will make the texture grainy.
- Adjust to taste. Strawberries vary a lot in sweetness depending on the season, so taste and adjust the syrup and lime before serving.
- Serve immediately. This starts to melt pretty fast so get it into glasses and serve straight away.
- Other berries. The same method works with frozen raspberries or frozen mango for a completely different flavor.
