Introduction

The Strawberry Coconut Daiquiri is a refreshing tropical cocktail that combines the sweetness of ripe strawberries with creamy coconut flavors. Perfect for a sunny afternoon or a festive gathering, this drink offers a delightful balance of fruity and smooth notes.

The image shows a clear glass filled with two layers of a drink; the bottom layer is thick and bright red with a slightly chunky texture, looking like crushed strawberries or a strawberry puree, while the top layer is creamy and smooth white, slightly blending into the red layer creating a marbled effect. On top of the drink, there are white shavings sprinkled, likely coconut or white chocolate, and a fresh, whole red strawberry with green leaves is placed on the rim. A red and white striped straw is inserted straight down from the top. In the background, there is another similar glass, also garnished with a strawberry, and whole strawberries are scattered on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 oz. frozen strawberries
3 oz. white rum
1 oz. simple syrup
3 oz. coconut cream
2 oz. coconut rum (can also use white rum)
1/2 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 1/2 cup ice
Shredded coconut (if desired)
2 small strawberries (if desired)

Instructions

Step 1: Add the frozen strawberries, white rum, 1 oz. simple syrup, and 3/4 cup of ice to a blender. Blend until smooth to create the strawberry layer.
Step 2: Pour the strawberry mixture into a glass, filling it about halfway.
Step 3: Rinse out the blender, then add the coconut cream, coconut rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, remaining 1 oz. simple syrup, and 3/4 cup ice. Blend until smooth to create the coconut layer.
Step 4: Carefully pour the coconut mixture over the strawberry layer in the glass to create a layered effect.
Step 5: Top with shredded coconut and garnish with a small strawberry, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of simple syrup or omit it entirely.
Use fresh strawberries instead of frozen and add extra ice to maintain the chill.
Swap coconut cream for coconut milk for a lighter texture, though it will be less creamy.
To make it non-alcoholic, omit the rums and add extra lime juice and coconut water for flavor.

Storage

This daiquiri is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store, cover and refrigerate the blended mixtures separately for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving, but note that the texture and layering may not be the same after storage.

FAQs

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh strawberries work well. Just add extra ice to keep the drink chilled and maintain the right consistency.

What is the difference between coconut cream and coconut milk?

Coconut cream is thicker and richer, providing a creamy texture, while coconut milk is lighter and more watery. For a creamier daiquiri, coconut cream is preferred.
