Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktail

What Is A Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktail?

First of all a mocktail is short for mock cocktail, and this Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktail mimics the alcoholic one but without the alcohol. We kept the strawberries and lime, but swapped the rum for lemon lime soda.

The soda keeps the mocktail from tasting like a smoothie (trust us, don’t leave it out). And if you do want to swap it, we recommend using a little non alcoholic rum- Ritual Rum Alternative or Lyre’s Dark Cane Spirit are my favorites. They taste almost identical to rum but without the alcohol.

Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktail Ingredients

You are going to love how simple these ingredients are. It’s only 4 things, 5 if you include the ice. Keep reading because I did add a few important notes and substitutions.

• Frozen Fresh Strawberries: For the best strawberry flavor you are going to want to grab yourself some fresh strawberries and freeze them yourself. And remember to wash them before freezing.
• Granulated Sugar
• Lemon Lime Soda: I use 7 Up, but you can always use Sprite, Starry, or even Mountain Dew. Just be sure to use chilled soda so your daiquiris stay extra cold.
• Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is the way to go, but you can also use bottled lime juice. Just keep in mind when you taste test the daiquiris you may need to add more sugar or strawberries to boost the sweetness.
• Ice Cubes
• OPTIONAL Garnish: I use strawberries and lime slices. To get extra fancy, rub the rim with lime juice and then coat it in granulated sugar for a sugared rim.

How To Make A Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktail

This recipe is oh so easy, let me show you!

But first, you’ll want to grab a blender or food processor, cocktail pins for holding your garnishes in place, and glassware. Typically daiquiris are served in hurricane glasses, martini glasses or coupe glasses like you see in my pictures. But any glassware works!

1. BLEND UP YOUR DAIQUIRIS- Throw everything into your blender (frozen strawberries granulated sugar, lemon lime soda, freshly squeezed lime juice, and ice) and blend until smooth.

2. TASTE TEST & TROUBLESHOOT- If they’re too thick, add a tablespoon of lemon lime soda until desired consistency is reached. If they’re too thin add a 1/4 cup more ice or frozen strawberries. Alter the sweetness by adding more sugar or adding more lime juice to tame the sweet.

3. SERVE- POUR INTO GLASSES AND GARNISH- Pour into your glasses and garnish with fresh strawberries and a lime slice (like I did).

Fun Ways To Customize Your Daiquiri

ADD ZERO PROOF SPIRITS- A classic strawberry daiquiri cocktail has rum in it, so substitute the lemon lime soda for equal parts of your favorite white, spiced, or dark rum. I recommend Ritual Rum Alternative or Lyre’s Dark Cane Spirit. They taste almost identical to rum but without the alcohol.

USE FROZEN BERRIES INSTEAD OF FRESH- If the strawberries are out of season or just too expensive, pre-packaged frozen strawberries work well. Keep in mind you may have to add more sugar since they tend to lack sweetness.

SWAP OUT THE SODA– A great alternative is lemon or lime flavored mineral water or sparkling water. You can also go neutral flavored and use club soda or tonic water. And if the mocktail Gods are shining on you, you might find a strawberry daiquiri flavored sparkling water (I know Wal-Mart has one).
