Strawberries and cream daiquiris are the ultimate treat for summer nights or anytime you are ready to trade the ordinary for something creamy refreshing and undeniably festive. Forget what you know about neon slushies from the beach bar. This homemade version layers sweet ripe strawberries with real whipped cream and just enough peach schnapps to make every sip feel like a vacation in a glass.

I threw these together for my sister’s birthday once and now my whole family makes requests every summer. They are so much more satisfying than any store-bought frozen drink.

Ingredients

  • Strawberries: the riper and redder the better Look for berries that smell sweet and have no soft spots

  • Clear rum: offers a light kick and classic daiquiri foundation Choose one without too much bite
  • Simple syrup: homemade is ideal It blends smoothly and lets the fruit shine
  • Peach schnapps: brings a whisper of sunny fruit flavor Look for reputable brands that taste natural not artificial
  • Heavy cream: as the base for rich whipped cream Go for high quality cream labeled heavy or whipping
  • Powdered sugar: sweetens the whipped cream and helps it hold its shape

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers pour them into popsicle molds or a freezer-safe container and freeze for a grownup granita treat Later it will be more icy than creamy so break up with a fork before serving

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap the peach schnapps for more simple syrup or a splash of orange liqueur if peach is not your thing No rum or making it kid friendly Substitute extra strawberries and a little lemonade

Serving Suggestions

Dress the rim with crushed freeze dried strawberries or a little coarse sugar for extra texture Sometimes I set out bowls of cut fruit and chocolate shavings so everyone can personalize their glass Make it the star of a summer brunch or sunset dessert party

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen strawberries can be used and will keep the cocktail extra cold and slushy. Just ensure they're halved for easy blending.

→ Is it possible to substitute the rum?

Clear rum brings classic daiquiri flavor, but you can substitute vodka for a lighter taste or omit for a non-alcoholic version.

→ How can I make homemade simple syrup?

To make simple syrup, dissolve equal parts granulated sugar and water over low-medium heat, stirring until clear, then let cool before use.

→ What’s the best way to achieve stiff whipped cream?

Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping, and whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until it forms stiff peaks for best results.

→ Can I prepare these in advance?

Blend the daiquiri mix and keep chilled. Whipped cream can be made ahead and refrigerated. Assemble just before serving to maintain layering.
