Summer Means Daiquiris

Daiquiris are a perfect summertime cocktail because they are one of the perfect cocktails to freeze.   Along with margaritas daiquiris have a robust enough flavor to avoid tasting watered down when frozen.

Not that you have to have frozen daiquiris in summer, any type of daiquiri would taste nice, but frozen drinks just seem to go hand in hand with lazy summer days, don't you think?

If you don't feel like a frozen daiquiri, then check out some of our other daiquiri recipes on these posts - daiquiris or more daiquiris because you can't fit enough of these cocktails on just one post!
