Notes
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Use honey or agave syrup instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
- Replace rum with coconut rum for a tropical twist or omit it entirely for a virgin version.
Storage & Reheating:
- Best served fresh; however, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Re-blend before serving.
Pro Tips & Techniques:
- Use freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice for the best flavor.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep your drinks icy cold longer.
Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes:
- If your daiquiri is too watery, add more ice and blend again.
- Avoid over-blending as it can dilute the flavors.
Variations & Dietary Adaptations:

- For a keto-friendly version, substitute sugar with erythritol or another low-carb sweetener.
