Tips and Substitutions
Making a daiquiri in a blender is not difficult, but if you're having a few hiccups, any problem is easily fixed.
- Be sure to blend everything completely; nothing is worse than a rogue chunk of ice or frozen strawberry. If when you stir before pouring into a glass you find a few chunks, go ahead and blend things up again.
- If you want your frozen blended daiquiri to be a little thinner, feel free to add some juice, orange liqueur, or use less ice.
- Add extra flavor by throwing in some other fruits: banana, peach, pineapple, coconut, orange, lemon, lime, pomegranate, and raspberry all play very well with strawberries.

Go ahead and toss in some extra fruit and consider yourself as having achieved your goal of a full serving of fruit, too.
