Start with crushed ice or small ice cubes, add the rum, lime juice, and sugar syrup to the blender, and blend until it reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. Avoid over-blending, as it can dilute the cocktail.

Serving suggestions icon

Why is a Champagne glass recommended for serving a Frozen Daiquiri?

A Champagne glass is recommended for serving a Frozen Daiquiri primarily for its elegant appearance, which enhances the drinking experience. The narrow shape helps retain the cold temperature of the drink for a longer period and presents the cocktail in a sophisticated manner, making it suitable for special occasions or as a classy choice for refreshment.

Ingredient substitutions icon

What can you substitute for white rum in a Frozen Daiquiri if you're out?

Non alcoholic variations icon

To make a non-alcoholic version of a Frozen Daiquiri, substitute the white rum with a non-alcoholic spirit or rum alternative.
