This frozen strawberry daiquiri recipe is super tasty and could not be easier to make. If you have a blender and the supplies, the cocktail is ready in just minutes.
To make this drink easy to prepare, the daiquiri recipe features a mix – “Island Oasis Strawberry” – and this gets combined with crushed ice and rum for one of the simplest cocktails that your party guests will love.
Frozen cocktails are perfect for the summer weather. They are the ultimate way to spend summer days by the pool or at the beach with your toes buried in the sand.
They are sometimes called slushies and are generally made of flavored ice and some kind of drink, usually a soda. You can make them as a mocktail, with no alcohol, or add some spirits, as we do with rum, to make a frozen drink that beats the summer heat.
I love frozen cocktail recipes. There is nothing like a yummy concoction poured over crushed ice to make you feel as though you are in the tropics.

What rum is best for a frozen strawberry daiquiri recipe?
Frozen warm-weather rum and strawberry drinks are best made with a rum that lets the taste of the drink shine through. Use a good quality run for the best flavor.
Light rums, dark rums or aged rums can all be used, depending on your preference.
Some good choices are:
- Bacardi Superior White Rum – this rum has vanilla notes to add flavor without overwhelming the strawberry flavor of the drink.
- Ten To One Caribbean White Rum – this rum from Trinidad offers a depth of flavor that makes it a great addition to any classic daiquiri recipe.
- St. Theresa 1976 Rum – this rum adds a richness to the bright flavors of the daiquiri.
