Frozen Watermelon Daiquiri Recipe

Introduction

A Frozen Watermelon Daiquiri is a refreshing, fruity cocktail perfect for hot days or festive gatherings. Combining sweet watermelon with a splash of rum and tangy lime, this drink is both simple to make and irresistibly cool.

The image shows a clear glass filled with a soft, creamy pink-orange slush, piled high to form a rounded top layer with a smooth, slightly textured surface. The drink has a gradient effect, with a denser pink-orange slush at the base that lightens slightly toward the top. A red and white striped paper straw sticks out from the upper right side. In the background on a white marbled surface, there is a half watermelon with a bright red interior and a green rind. In the foreground, slightly blurred, there are two lime wedges placed close to the glass. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 4 cups watermelon (previously chopped and frozen, 600 g)
  • ½ cup Malibu rum (120 mL)
  • 2 to 4 Tbsp sugar (to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice (30 mL)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add the frozen watermelon, Malibu rum, sugar, and lime juice to a blender.
  2. Step 2: Blend on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to combine all ingredients evenly.

Tips & Variations

  • Adjust the sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your watermelon and your personal preference.
  • For an extra frosty texture, freeze the watermelon chunks overnight before blending.
  • Substitute Malibu rum with white rum for a less coconut-flavored cocktail.
  • Add fresh mint leaves before blending for a refreshing herbal twist.

Storage

This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately for optimal freshness and texture. If needed, keep leftovers covered in the freezer and consume within 24 hours. Stir well before serving if it partially melts.

FAQs

Can I use fresh watermelon instead of frozen?

Yes, but you’ll need to add ice to achieve the frozen, slushy consistency typical of a daiquiri.

What if I don’t have Malibu rum?

You can use any white rum as a substitute; however, Malibu adds a subtle coconut flavor that complements the watermelon beautifully.
