Daiquiri

Rum, lime, and sugar define the classic daiquiri; no garishly-colored slushies, please.

The Best Frozen Daiquiri

The best frozen daiquiri is tart, fresh, and holds its icy chill. Keep in mind that the sweetness of rum varies, so you'll need to taste your first batch and consider adding a touch more of simple syrup if needed.

Ultra-Tropical Piña Colada

Taste the tropics, not ice water.

Mai Tai

The true Mai Tai is a vacation in a glass, bearing little resemblance to the sweet, murky rum drink you've likely tried before.

The Best Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

This cocktail features fresh strawberries that get thrown in the blender with a super-chilled rum-lime-sugar mix. The result has a more intense flavor and stays slushy and cold.

El Floridita Daiquiri

The El Floridita Daiquiri was popularly prepared in Havana in the 1930s, and is a slight variation on the original daiquiri that's worth adding to the regular drinks rotation.

Hemingway Daiquiri

This recipe makes a drink--which, just to make things even more confusing, is also known as a Daiquiri No. 3--that is much less tart than the citrus bombs the Floridita was serving, and with a potency that's more likely to put you in a pleasant mood on a late-summer day than to steer you into a long, grisly night that ends with you waking up on a fishing boat drifting somewhere south of Key West.

Frozen Fernet Daiquiri

Fernet blasts through a simple tart frozen daiquiri, adding a slightly bitter edge and a shock of minty freshness.

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri!!

The most amazing Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri is made with a load of fresh, frozen strawberries!! Dangerously easy to drink - can't taste the rum in this!

Savory Cucumber and Green Chartreuse Frozen Daiquiri

Cool cucumbers and herbal Green Chartreuse make for a savory, intriguing spin on the frozen daiquiri that's wonderfully refreshing.
