Method 1 Method 1 of 2: Making a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

1 Fill a blender with cracked ice. You will need about a glassful of ice.
2 Cut and slice 3 ounces (90 grams) of strawberries. Strawberries come in different sizes, so how many strawberries you use will vary. This could be anywhere from 3 to 6 strawberries. A simple way to figure out how many strawberries you'll need is to simply cut and slice some strawberries and start filling up a measuring cup. Stop when you are just short of the ½ cup/4 ounces/120 millimeters mark.
- The best strawberries are fresh and ripe, but you can also use frozen ones as well. If you do use frozen strawberries, thaw them first.
3 Add the strawberries to the blender, along with the sugar and lime juice. For a sweeter daiquiri, add some more sugar. Keep in mind that if the strawberries are already very ripe, you may not need much sugar.
4 Blend until the mixture is smooth. From time to time, open the blender, and push the mixture down the sides with a spatula. This will help things mix more evenly.
5 Pour the mixture into a glass and garnish it with a strawberry. Slice a strawberry partway, from the bottom almost to the top. Slide it over the rim of the glass.
- You can also use other garnishes as well, including mint leaves, paper cocktail umbrellas, or orange/lime slices.
- For a fancier twist, add a swirl of whipped cream on top, and place a maraschino cherry on top.
6 Serve. If you'd like, you can pop a straw into the daiquiri.

Method 2 Method 2 of 2: Making Variations

1 Make it using a strawberry daiquiri mix. If you have a pre-made mix at home, you can use it to make a virgin strawberry daiquiri. Simply follow the directions on the package, but omit the alcohol. If the package does not have instructions, try blending 4 ounces (120 milliliters) of the mix with 1 cup of ice. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of water, and blend again.
- Makes enough for 1 serving.
2 Make a kid-friendly strawberry daiquiri. The virgin daiquiri recipe is alcohol free, but it might not be too sour for kids. Try mixing ¼ cup (55 grams) sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, ¾ cup (180 milliliters) lemon-lime soda, 4 ice cubes, and 2 large strawberries in a blender. Pour it into a tall glass, and garnish it with a strawberry. The result will be a little sweeter and somewhat fizzy. This might make it more appealing for kids.
- Makes enough for 1 serving.
3 Give it a tropical twist with some pineapple. Mix 14½ ounces (400 grams) of canned pineapple chunks, 12 ounces (350 grams) of frozen strawberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the juice of 2 medium limes in a blender. Pulse until smooth, then pour into glasses. Garnish with a strawberry or pineapple chunk, and serve.
- Makes enough for 2 servings.
4 Give it a fruity punch with orange juice. In a blender, combine 2 cups of ice, 1 cup (200 grams) of sliced strawberries, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add the juice of 1 orange and 1 lime. Blend until smooth, then pour into glasses and serve.
5 Mix it with a blended pineapple drink to create a virgin lava flow. Prepare only half a strawberry daiquiri mixture and set it aside. In a blender, mix 3 ounces (90 milliliters) of unsweetened coconut cream, 3 ounces (90 milliliters) of pineapple juice, and a handful of ice. Pour the mixture over the top of the strawberry daiquiri. Garnish it with a large strawberry, and serve.
- If you can't find any coconut cream, you can try using coconut milk instead. Coconut milk is a little thinner, so your lava flow will also be thinner.
