Frozen Mason Jar Daiquiris

We recently ran across a post from The Yummy Life that showed a recipe, an easy one at that, for flavored frozen fruity daiquiris. Thinking it would be perfect for an upcoming backyard get-together, we set out to mix up a batch.

Jump to Recipe

Each daiquiri contains a LOT of frozen fruit (guess you could say it’s healthy!) and the taste is simply scrumptious. The best part is, you can mix up a whole bunch of them ahead of time, pour them into 16 oz. mason jars and freeze them until you need them – just leave a little room at the top as they expanded as they freeze! The alcohol keeps them from freezing completely, so just remove them from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving, stir slightly and add a garnish!

Make a batch without the rum for the little ones and designated drivers!

Which one looks tastiest to you?

Frozen Mason Jar Daquiris

Each daiquiri contains a LOT of frozen fruit (guess you could say it’s healthy!) and the taste is simply scrumptious.

Course: Drinks
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3-6 oz. Frozen Lemonade Concentrate (we used about 4 oz. because we like them a little less tart)
  • 6 oz. Light Rum
  • 4 c. Frozen Fruit (strawberry, blueberry, mango)
  • 2 c. Ice
  • Sugar (Sweetener is optional and to taste. We didn't need any when we reduced the frozen concentrate)
  • Fresh Fruit (For Garnish)

Instructions

  • Blend frozen lemonade concentrate, rum, and frozen fruit (and sweetener if needed ) in a blender until smooth.
  • Add ice and blend again until thick and frosty.
  • Pour into a mason jar, garnish and serve, or freeze up to one month in the freezer.

Notes

If you are making these ahead of time, you can pour them into 16 oz. mason jars and freeze them until you need them – just leave a little room at the top as they will expand as they freeze!
The alcohol keeps them from freezing completely, so just remove them from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving, stir slightly and add a garnish!
BONUS: You can also make these with no alcohol for little ones and designated drivers!!

Wind In Your Sails Punch

For those of you that have followed us for a while, you know how much we love to sail in the Caribbean. To us, a sailing vacation is the perfect combination of getting on the water yet still being able to enjoy some relaxing island time. A few years ago we were asked by a friend to create a rum recipe for a sailing trip he was going to photograph, and we were up for the challenge. After a bit of experimenting and mixology, we came up with a tasty concoction we named Wind In Your Sails Punch.

Whether you’re about to sail the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean or  just dreaming of being there – enjoy!

Frozen Pineapple Daiquiri

One of the tastiest ingredients used in tropical drinks in my opinion, is pineapple – fresh pineapple if possible! This frosty drink calls for 1 and 1/2 cups of pineapple per drink and for the best taste possible, we used a fresh pineapple cut into chunks. At least half of the pineapple used should be frozen for the creamiest effect.

This drink is considered a daiquiri, which traditionally are not overly sweet and just a bit tart due to the addition of  lime juice. If you like a sweet drink, cut back on the amount of lime juice and bump up the amount of simple syrup added. And if you like your drink even tarter, add more lime to taste!

Hemingway Daiquiri

National Daiquiri Day is celebrated on July 19 and to honor it, we thought we’d try a new recipe from Papa’s Pilar appropriately named the Hemingway Daiquiri.

After all, Papa’s Pilar Rum is inspired by Ernest Hemingway, who certainly enjoyed his tipple, especially in the company of good friends. To find out more about the history of the daiquiri, be sure to read the info below supplied by the good folks at Papa’s Pilar® Rum.

Hemingway Daiquiri

Papa’s Pilar Rum is inspired by Ernest Hemingway, who certainly enjoyed his tipple.
Course: Drinks
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz. Papa Pilar Blonde Rum
  • 1/2 oz. Grapefruit Juice
  • 3/4 oz. Lime Juice
  • 1 tsp. Maraschino Liqueur
  • 1 tsp. Sugar

Instructions

  • Hand shake all ingredients with ice. Serve in a chilled glass. Garnish boldly with grapefruit.

History of the Daiquiri
The Daiquiri is named after a small Cuban town of the same name on the southern coast near Santiago. It was invented at the turn of the 20th century reportedly by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox. It’s hard, as with any research into cocktail history to make any definitive claims. After all, the British Royal Navy was mixing Grog (rum, water, lime and sugar) together since Admiral Vernon ordered it in August of 1740. In 1909 Admiral Lucius W. Johnson, who was visiting Cuba enjoyed the drink so much he brought the recipe back to the Army Navy Club in Washington, D.C. Thereafter, the cocktail began wider enjoyment and consumption. The Daiquiri is still served at the club today.

Enter Ernest Hemingway
There are many variations of the Classic Daiquiri. Many began in Havana at the La Floridita Bar. Under the guidance of head bartender Constante, many of the most famous variants emerged. Unfortunately, today many people either do not know, or do not care what the accurate (or as closely as can be researched and deduced) ingredients in these recipes really are. At the center of this daiquiri dilemma is the Hemingway Daiquiri.

A basic Classic Daiquiri is 2 oz white rum, .75 oz fresh lime juice, 1 tsp sugar. Constante, working his own genius, offered the Daiquiri #3 in his 1935 recipe book by adding 1 tsp maraschino and 1 tsp grapefruit: his house daiquiri at the La Floridita. Many people have over time referred to this #3 as the Hemingway Daiquiri or the La Floridita Daiquiri. Constante however never did so. Simply calling it the #3. In 1939, Constante did offer a Floridita Daiquiri. This he called the #4 which left the grapefruit out. He also offered the E. Henmiway [sic] Special. This was the #3 served blended. Ernest loved his Daiquiri frozen. None of these confusing and subtle twists should be confused with the Papa Doble. Often people mention the Papa Doble and the Hemingway Daiquiri interchangeably. Hemingway was diabetic and avoided sugar. In this recipe he asked Constante, working from the Classic Daiquiri with only three ingredients, to double the rum (‘Doble’) and forgo the sugar. Thus 4 oz white rum and .75 oz fresh lime juice. Bold, just like Papa.

In the end, what is most important is to enjoy the rum and this special cocktail. We suspect Ernest would be less caught up with exact balances and more concerned with being surrounded by friends and revelry in a grand bar in Key West or Havana.

Papaya-Mango Rum Float

Papaya, mango, rum and ice cream – what’s not to like about this summer dessert drink? This tasty concoction reminds me of the great fresh fruit (and rum!) that we enjoyed in Jamaica. We just barely blended the papaya, mango and rum so that there were still small chunks of papaya – but you can blend it longer if you want a creamier mix.
