RECIPE NOTES
*TROUBLESHOOT YOUR MOCKTAIL. If it's too thick add a tablespoon more of lemon lime soda. If too thin, add a 1/4 cup more of frozen strawberries or ice. Too sweet, add more lime juice. Too sour, add more sugar.
Customize Your Daiquiri:
- Add zero-proof spirits like Ritual Rum Alternative or Lyre’s Dark Cane Spirit. Start with only 2 ounces and adjust as necessary.
- Use pre-packaged frozen berries in place of fresh frozen berries. Just note, you may need to add more granulated sugar to boost the sweetness.
- Swap out the lemon lime soda for flavored mineral water or sparkling water. You can also use neutral flavored club soda or tonic water.
