Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 Tbsp fresh mint leaves
- 2 Tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/3 cup ice
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 4 Tbsp light (white) rum (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen sliced peaches and pineapple chunks, fresh mint leaves, freshly squeezed lime juice, ice, water, maple syrup, and light rum if using.
- Blend the Daiquiri: Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender, starting with the 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup and 4 tablespoons of rum, if using. Blend on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the daiquiri and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if it’s too tart or more rum if you desire a stronger cocktail flavor. Blend again briefly to incorporate changes.
- Serve: Pour the daiquiri evenly into two cocktail glasses. Garnish the rims with a slice of peach or pineapple, a lime wedge, or fresh mint leaves to enhance aroma and presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor and best texture. If you have any leftovers, consider freezing them in popsicle molds for a cool treat later.
Notes
- Freeze fresh fruit at peak ripeness for best flavor and color; peaches should be fragrant and slightly soft, pineapple flavorful and bright yellow.
- To freeze fruit, cut unpeeled peaches into 1/2-inch slices and pineapple into 1 1/2-inch chunks, freeze on a lined baking sheet for 4-6 hours, then transfer to a sealed container.
- Store-bought frozen fruit can be used but may yield less intense peach flavor and a more tart pineapple taste.
- Nutrition estimate is based on the lesser amount of maple syrup and no rum, as rum adds additional calories.
- If omitting rum, add extra water to maintain the right consistency.
