Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Strawberry or mango slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the green tops and slice them into halves or quarters.
- Cut the ripe mango in half, avoiding the large pit in the center. Score the flesh in a grid pattern and scoop it out with a spoon. Dice the mango into small pieces.
- In a small saucepan, combine equal parts of sugar and water (e.g., 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water).
- Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool. Store any leftover syrup in the refrigerator.
- In a blender, combine the prepared strawberries, mango, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Adjust sweetness with more syrup if desired.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender. Adjust the amount of ice based on your preferred slushiness.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more simple syrup, water, or lime juice as needed.
- Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for a few minutes if desired.
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glasses, filling them to the brim or leaving space for garnishing.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of strawberry or mango for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve with a straw or spoon and enjoy your refreshing drink! Perfect for summer days, parties, or a fun treat at home.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for a few hours, stirring before serving again.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits like pineapple or peach for a tropical twist!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness of the daiquiri by modifying the amount of simple syrup.
