Adding the layer of mango gives a simple frozen Strawberry Daiquiri cocktail a fun vibe and extra burst of flavor. Who knew these two fruits would pair together so well?

It’s said that the original cocktail recipe for classic daiquiri was created in 1898 at the El Cobre copper mines in Cuba. At that time, it was only white rum, lemons, sugar, and ice. Of course, the recipe has been tweaked many times since then. Today, it is thought the traditional daiquiri recipe was first printed in the Gentleman’s Companion (1939), written by travel and food writer Charles H. Baker, using only simple ingredients of white rum, lime juice, and sugar, similar to our frozen daiquiri.

Daiquiri purists will refer to Baker’s recipe when making any other version. So now you know. And we’re not that far off, using fruit, fruit juice, and light rum. We think Charles H. Baker would approve.

Why We Love It

We love a good fruity cocktail, and the mango takes the strawberry daiquiri flavors to a whole new level. Mango also adds creaminess to this cocktail without adding dairy. What could be better on a hot summer day?

This easy recipe makes a fun drink you’ll want to serve anytime you’re having a summer gathering with friends. It’s easy to make, and strawberries and mangoes are available in the frozen food aisle of your grocery store all year round!

What Goes In this Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

This delicious cocktail is super easy to make with fruit, fruit juice, and rum. Garnish with fresh fruit. We’ve used a strawberry and lime wheel, but a slice of mango would be delicious.

Substitutions and Additions

Fresh fruit works for this cocktail, too, but you’ll want to wash and freeze it for a bit before making the cocktail.

As this drink has no added sugar, some people might like a sweeter drink. Simply add a little simple syrup or agave to each layer before blending.

Try adding a banana for more creaminess. Bananas pair well with both strawberries and mango.

Like spicey? Add a pinch of cayenne to give our Strawberry Mango Daiquiri a little warmth.

Want to make a non-alcoholic version for kids and friends who don’t drink? Just add a half cup of orange juice to each layer and omit the alcohol.

FAQ

Can I make this with vodka?

You sure can! You can use any liquor you prefer. Vodka is a good choice if you don’t want to taste the liquor, but you could use tequila, gin, or your favorite.

I’m allergic to strawberries. What can I use for the pink layer?

You can leave out the strawberries and still get the pretty layered presentation. Just double the mango mixture, adding a couple of drops of grenadine to half of it until you have your desired color. Layer as instructed. You could also use frozen cherries for the red layer.

Why do my daiquiris end up so icy?

If your cocktail ends up icy, you may not be blending the ingredients enough or at a high enough speed. An older blender may also have dull blades. See our list of top blenders for smoothies and drinks.

Top Tips

Have everything ready before you start, making sure you have all your ingredients.

If you can use crushed ice, it blends better than cubed.

If the frozen fruit slush is too thick, add orange juice a little bit at a time until it’s easily pourable.

Make sure to keep the frozen mixture cold while making the second layer.
