Daiquiri Fraise Rustique | Redneck Strawberry Daiquiri

Introduction

A tart-sweet blender daiquiri with a rustic twist from whiskey, tequila, and a splash of beer. Bright lime and lemon balance the sugar, while mint keeps it fresh and cold.

Ingredients

• 7 oz strawberries
• Juice of 3 limes, freshly squeezed
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup whiskey
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup tequila
• 6 cups ice
• 1/2 can beer
• Mint for garnish, plus a few leaves for the blender
• 1/2 cup sugar, preferably raw or brown

Directions

1. Add strawberries, lime juice, lemon juice, whiskey, tequila, ice, beer, mint leaves, and sugar to a blender in that order so the liquids help the blade catch.
2. Blend on high until completely smooth and slushy, pausing to scrape or stir if needed. Taste and adjust: add a squeeze more lime for brightness or a spoon of sugar for sweetness.
3. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Tips

• Use cold fruit and chilled beer to keep the blend thick without overloading on ice.
• Start with the lower end of tequila, then adjust to taste after blending.
• Balance: if it tastes flat, add a pinch of salt or more citrus; if too sharp, add a touch more sugar.

Optional Additions

• Rim glasses with raw sugar and a pinch of lime zest for extra aroma.
• Swap part of the ice for frozen strawberries to intensify fruit flavor without dilution.
