Strawberry Mango Daiquiri

Try to tell me that you don’t want to reach through the screen and grab this STRAWBERRY MANGO DAIQUIRI!

If there’s one cocktail that everyone knows, it’s a daiquiri.

I am pretty sure that it’s the first cocktail I ever had. Immediately upon turning the legal age of course. I wouldn’t dream of having had a sip of an alcoholic drink before I turned of age…. 😉

This is the first cocktail that I had, and the first cocktail I learned to make. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s the first thing I made using the first blender I got when I left home.

A lot of firsts associated with daiquiris!

I originally planned to share a classic Strawberry Daiquiri, but as I was rummaging in my freezer for my stash of frozen strawberries, I came across a stack of ziplock bags filled with mangoes right at the back of my freezer. And instantly, I had a thought – what about combining strawberries AND mangoes? The colors. The colors!!! Doesn’t it just SCREAM of summer?? 🙂

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have an enormous stash of cocktail glasses. So when I make cocktails, I serve them in all manner of glasses. Cocktail, martini, wine glasses, and even normal drinking glasses. I actually love using a variety!

One thing I am very particular about is getting the consistency of the frozen daiquiri right. You know when you get a frozen drink piled high, stick a straw in then end up sucking all the flavor out and end up with a pile of plain frozen ice shavings?

I hate that! It’s so disappointing!!

So I’m very particular about my Daiquiri consistency. It’s probably more slushy than you ordinarily see, and it doesn’t look as impressive as a sky-high pile of frozen Daiquiri. But it is much more practical because when you sip it, you’ll actually get a proper sip of slushy!

I made this with strawberry and mango because that’s what I had, but really, let your imagination go wild! Use whatever fruit combinations you want!

Strawberry Mango Daiquiri

A strawberry daiquiri with the added excitement of mango!!! I use a combination of frozen and fresh fruit to get the right consistency of a soft slushy, making it easier to drink. However, it's optional!
