🍹 What is a Virgin Strawberry Daquiri?

A virgin strawberry daiquiri is a super easy to make blended combination of strawberries, Sprite, ice, simple syrup and lime juice. The resulting drink is fruity and frozen. It’s a bright red color and bursting with strawberry flavor it also has some citrus flavors mingled in.

This mocktail is a fun twist on the classic daiquiri cocktail. Daiquiris typically were shaken and were combination of lime juice, simple syrup and rum. Although, over time frozen daiquiris have become quite popular with lots of different flavors added in such as a passion fruit daiquiri and banana frozen daiquiri.

It’s usually quite easy to turn classic cocktails into a mocktail version simply by leaving the liquor out and substituting with extra juices, sodas or water. And, that’s exactly what we do in this recipe.

⭐ When to Make This Drink

Blend this mocktail up for a wide variety of different events such as:

• Valentine’s Day

📖 Variations

One of the great things about this mocktail is that you can very easily customize the ingredients and flavors to suit your needs. Try a few of these ideas out:

• Use frozen strawberries. If you use frozen strawberries then you can omit or decrease the ice. This will help to prevent any watering down and will make a creamier drink.
• Decrease the sweetness. Take a little of the sugar out by replacing Sprite with club soda or seltzer water. This way you can still get the liquid you’ll need to blend everything together, but without the added sugar.
• Use a flavored soda water. If you’d like to still have a flavored soda water but without the extra sugar and Sprite, you can use a strawberry, lemon or lime flavored s seltzer water.
• Leave out the simple syrup. Especially if you’re already using soda in this mocktail, the strawberries are sweet enough that you don’t absolutely need to add simple syrup if you want to make this a little healthier.
• Use a flavored simple syrup. Double down on the lime or strawberry flavors by using a corresponding flavored simple syrup instead of using plain simple syrup.
• Use a different sweetener. Make this a little healthier by using a different sweetener such as honey or your sweetener of choice.

🥄 Equipment

📋 Ingredients

• ½ cup Strawberries
• 2 oz Sprite
• ¼ Cup of ice
• .25 oz Simple syrup
• .25 oz Lime juice

👩🏻‍🍳Instructions

Step one

Start out by getting everything you need which should include Sprite, sliced strawberries, hurricane glass, ice, jigger, blender, lime juice and simple syrup.

Step two

Toss a quarter cup of ice into the blender.

Step three

Slice up half a cup of strawberries and add them to the blender.

Step four

Measure out 2 oz of Sprite and add it to the blender.

Note: for liquid measurements in cups and tablespoons see the recipe card below.

Step Five

Measure up 0.25 oz of lime juice and add it to the blender.

Step Six

Measure out 0.25 oz of simple syrup and add it to the blender.

Step Seven

Finally, you’ll need to blend everything together. Your individual blender settings and times may vary.

For our blender we use a smoothie setting for a few minutes. As it blends you may need to add a little more Sprite to ensure that it blends well and is not too thick.

The key is to ensure that everything is well chopped and combined without turning it into a liquid.

When finished, turn the blender off and pour your drink into the glass.
