TRY THIS SIMPLE VIRGIN STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI RECIPE ON A HOT SUMMER OR SPRING DAY. THIS HEALTHY MOCKTAIL IS SUITABLE FOR PREGNANCY, KIDS AND THOSE WHO CHOoSE TO GO ALCOHOL FREE.

Are you look for an easy virgin strawberry daiquiri recipe? I’ve got you covered.

This drink has the perfect mix of fresh and frozen strawberries, which creates an ideal creamy texture that doesn’t separate as it melts, meaning you can take your time with each delicious sip.

This easy mocktail recipe also gets the thumbs up from the whole family, which makes it a great mocktail for kids. 

This frozen drink ticks all the boxes. It’s:

  • Easy: There are certainly no bartending skills required for this recipe. Simply throw the ingredients in a blender, check the consistency, garnish and serve. Hint: chill your glasses, it will keep the daiquiri frozen for longer.
  • Quick: These virgin daiquiris can be made in minutes, so they are perfect to make for unexpected guests or when serving a crowd.
  • Surprisingly healthy: Made primarily of strawberries and lime juice, this alcohol free cocktail is packed with Vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants.
  • Perfect to make in large quantities for guests: The serves can be increased on this recipe, and depending on the size of your blender, you can make up to 10 at a time. This makes it a perfect batch mocktail.

What is a virgin strawberry daiquiri?

To go back a step, a daiquiri is a classic rum cocktail. It’s usually made with a combination of fruit or fruit juice, rum and sweetener. With it’s icy texture, it’s often associated with Summer, sunshine and holidays – yes please!

The strawberry daiquiri is the most common and popular variation.

So what do you do when you want to skip the booze? Make a non alcoholic version of course!

A strawberry daiquiri mocktail omits the rum. Great replacements include some extra citrus, a non alcoholic rum or some bitters. Any of these ingredients will give the drink that bit of kick and zing that is missing from the alcohol.

Luckily the alcohol free beverage industry is coming ahead in leaps and bounds and there are some fabulous rum substitutes out there. I can vouch for Lyres White Cane Spirit and the Fluere Spiced Cane rum.

I’d love to know in the comments below if you’ve tried one you like.

Ingredients

Frozen strawberries: I buy pre-frozen strawberries from the supermarket because they are generally cheaper and easier than freezing my own. If you’d prefer to buy them fresh and freeze this method would work perfectly too.

Fresh strawberries: is there anything better than plump, red strawberries that are in season? I think not! If you can only get your hands on frozen strawberries, you can always thaw them before adding.

Lime juice: freshly squeezed lime juice is always best. Not only does it taste better, but it’s better for you too. Of course, if you don’t have access to fresh for whatever reason, bottled is a close runner up!

Maple syrup, or your sweetener of choice: if you’re not a sweet tooth and strawberries are in season (meaning they are sweeter), you may be able to leave the sweetener out of this recipe. I’d recommend blending as per instructions below without the sweetener, then adding it slowly if you want to.

If you choose a powder type sweetener instead of maple syrup (such as Stevia or monk fruit sweetener), you may need to add a little water to make up the half a cup of liquid missing from the maple syrup.

Alcohol free rum or bitters: I have made a couple of suggestions above for non alcoholic rum, but if you don’t have access to this or don’t want to buy a full bottle, a few drops of bitters does wonders for this recipe. This is optional though, so even if you don’t have it, you can still make this.

Why should I use frozen strawberries?

Great question! My old version of this recipe had a combination of fresh strawberries and ice, and I thought that was enough to give it that icy texture. But, when I went back to test the recipe (I test each recipe every 6 months to make sure it’s still as delicious as when I first made it!). I found the ice made the drink a really watery consistency.

By using frozen strawberries and only adding a little water when adjusting the consistency, it maintains a much better texture. Much closer to a proper strawberry daiquiri.

How to make a virgin strawberry daiquiri

Place frozen and fresh strawberries, lime juice, sweetener (if using) and the optional rum or bitters in a blender and blend.

Blend until smooth on high speed. Test the flavour and consistency. Add a little extra sweetener or lime to taste. If the consistency is too thick, add a little water. Blend again. Pour into a chilled glass and serve garnished with fresh strawberries and lime.

If you love strawberry drinks, you’ll also love my:

  • Virgin strawberry mojito
  • Simple strawberry agua fresca
  • Strawberry lemonade

I hope you enjoy making this virgin strawberry daiquiri as much as I loved creating it.

Notes

Sweetener: if you’re not a sweet tooth, you might choose to leave the sweetener out of this recipe. If you’re not sure, blend the remaining ingredients as per instructions, then taste and add a little sweetener if you need to. Keep in mind that without the sweetener, the recipe is missing 1/2 cup liquid from the maple syrup, so a bit of extra water will need to be added.
You can use your preferred type of sweetener in this recipe. The maple syrup can be placed with 2 teaspoons Stevia, or 1/2 cup simple syrup made with sugar or monk fruit sweetener. Again, if you use a powder type sweetener, you may need to add a little water.
Non alcoholic rum and bitters: I like the Lyres White Cane Spirit and the Fluere Spiced Cane rum. If you don’t want to buy a whole bottle, replace this with a couple of drops of bitters to give it that zing that is missing from the alcohol, or you can leave it out entirely and it will still tastes great!

Cleansing Ginger Lemonade 🍋 With only 3 ingred Cleansing Ginger Lemonade 🍋

With only 3 ingredients (plus water!) this healthy lemonade is perfect for Dry January and is super easy to make.

I use monkfruit sweetener because it’s all natural and contains zero net carbs, making this lemonade completely sugar free with next to 0 calories.

✨Don’t forget to save this recipe✨

Ingredients

▫️ 2.5-3 inches fresh ginger, sliced 
▫️ 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
▫️ 1/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
▫️ 4 cups water

Method

Slice the ginger into small rounds.

Place ginger, water and monkfruit sweetener into a medium size saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Bring to a low simmer. Turn the heat to low, cover, and leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes. 
Remove from heat and leave to infuse for a further 15-30 minutes. The longer you infuse, the strong the ginger flavour will be.

Remove the ginger and add the lemon juice to the saucepan. Give it a gentle stir.

Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Serve over ice.

Tip: if you don’t have monk fruit sweetener you can use regular sugar or a sweetener of your choice. If using something like Stevia, remember it’s extremely sweet so you won’t need the full amount. Refer to the instructions on packet for conversions.

Cheers and enjoy! 💙💛

I received some DM’s after last weeks reel sayin I received some DM’s after last weeks reel saying that while many of you are feeling better physically after 1 week alcohol free, you’re also feeling cranky & emotional.

It reminded me of a story I shared early on, so I’m resharing in the hope that it helps explain why.

‘When I first took a break from drinking, I spent a lot of time feeling really pissed off.

I didn’t understand what was happening. 

Wasn’t I supposed to be feeling better?

I mean sure, it was great to not have to deal with hangovers. My skin was clearer. I was sleeping better. The physical stuff was great. The mental stuff not so much.

My emotions seemed extreme. I would get teary over things that hadn’t made me teary before. I was getting easily frustrated at little things.

What the heck was going on?

Then one night it all made sense.

My husband & I were talking about our plans for the weekend. We were doing something I had really been looking forward to.

I got this feeling in my stomach, like butterflies but better. Like a thrill. It reminded me of how I used to feel on Christmas Eve as a child. Or in the countdown to my birthday. That utter excitement & anticipation of something awesome about to happen.

I realised what the feeling in my stomach was. I was feeling joy. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt pure, swelling of the heart, giddy joy like that.

See, the thing with alcohol is that it numbs you right down. It numbs every emotion down.
We call it ‘taking the edge off’, but what it really does is dulls the feelings so you don’t have to ‘feel them’ as hard.

The downside? It dulls the good stuff too. Like joy. And excitement. And that swelling of the heart kind of happiness. Those feelings I thought were reserved only for kids.

It wasn’t long after this ‘Aha’ moment that I came across this quote from Brené Brown & it all made sense.

These extreme feelings of being super irritated then overly joyful was simply me feeling the full range of human emotions.

Which is normal. And healthy.

As Glennon Doyle says in Untamed:

‘Feelings are made for feeling. All of them’.’

Can you relate to this?

Give me a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you LOVE this quote Give me a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you LOVE this quote as much as I do!

This is one of my all time favourite quotes by the incredible @brenebrown and it’s a perfect one to share in the first week of Dry January.

Have you thought about why you are participating in Dry Jan? It might be you’re having a dry month to simply give your body a break and you have a perfectly normal relationship with alcohol. If this is you, that is INCREDIBLE - please carry on as you were 😉

For me, I used to participate in dry months as a way to ‘prove’ to myself that I didn’t have a problem with alcohol. I would get to the end of the month and think proudly ‘See? SEE? You can get through a whole month without wine. There is nothing wrong with you. If there was, you’d never be able to take a whole month off.’

Everyone around me was so surprised (and supportive) when I’d take a break - I remember one year I came in as one of the Top 10 fundraisers in Australia for Ocsober because it was so unusual for me to go without my beloved wine 🙃

Of course, in the weeks that followed I’d consume so much alcohol to make up for it I would have been better off to skip the dry month in the first place.

Now is a good time to think about your reason for doing Dry January. Is it to simply take a break from alcohol, or is there more to it?

Congratulations on being almost one week in - you’re doing great! ✨✨

A recent poll on my stories showed there are SO MA A recent poll on my stories showed there are SO MANY of us taking part in Dry January 2022.

After the year that was 2021, it’s not surprising we are choosing to lay off the alcohol and give our bodies a break.
