With this easy blender daiquiri, we prove once and for all that you don’t need alcohol to have fun. Whether you’re using up peak season berries or are just in the mood for a festive treat, this not-too-sweet drink will hit the spot. In place of the rum, we added a little citrus soda for liquid, sweetness and bright flavor. If you want to try the new trend of nonalcoholic spirits, we offer an option below, but we liked the drink equally well without it.

Cook’s Note

If you ever have limes or lemons that are about to go bad (or you just have a lot of extras), juice them and freeze the juice in an ice cube tray. A standard ice cube is about 2 tablespoons (1 ounce), so they're easy to add to a frozen or shaken cocktail. It’s a great way to prep ahead and keep from wasting precious juice.
