FAQs
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Frozen strawberries are preferred because they create the icy texture of the daiquiri. If you use fresh strawberries, add ice cubes to achieve a similar consistency.
How can I make this drink less sweet?
Reduce the amount of sugar or use a natural sweetener to suit your taste. You can also add extra lime juice for a tangier flavor.
