Raspberries are tarter than strawberries, which makes this daiquiri taste brighter and more grown-up. The color is spectacular, a deep magenta that really shows off in clear glassware.
Raspberry seeds are tiny but noticeable. Strain the purée if you want it perfectly smooth.
Frozen Raspberry Lime Daiquiri
Ingredients (2 drinks)
- 3 oz white rum
- 1½ oz fresh lime juice
- 1½ oz simple syrup
- 1½ cups frozen raspberries
- 1½ cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Blend the raspberries with the lime juice and syrup until smooth; strain if desired.

Tips for the best texture
- A half-ounce of raspberry liqueur (Chambord-style) rounds out the tartness.
- Mix half raspberries, half blueberries for a mixed-berry version.
Try a twist
Use vodka instead of rum and add a splash of lemonade for a raspberry lemonade slush.
Blender, frozen drink maker or slush machine?
These amounts are written for a standard countertop blender. In an ice-shaving frozen drink maker, put the ice in the hopper and the liquids and any fruit in the jar, then run a full cycle. In a home slush machine, which freezes the drink itself, leave out the ice, replace it with about 1 cup of cold water or juice, and pour the mixed liquid into the bowl.
