Fresh fruit daiquiri

[judydawn]

Makes 3 large cocktail glasses - prepare as required.

2 cups chopped fresh or small frozen pieces of watermelon, mango or strawberries
1/2 cup white rum (110g)
1/2 cup lemon juice (110g)
2 tblspns castor sugar
2 cups ice- cubes (260g)

Place all ingredients into the TM bowl and blend for 1 minute on speed 8 or until all ice is crushed (this will depend on how sharp your blades are). Using the spatula as you do when making sorbet will help here.
Serve in large cocktail glasses with a wide straw. If using frozen fruit the mixture will be like a thick slushy and hard to drink at first.  Within a few minutes it will become easier to drink.

Thanks Judy, I have some frozen watermelon chunks in the freezer and was wondering what I would do with them!

Time they came out MJ    Treat yourself.  This daiquiri is cheaper to make than the one in the EDC as that uses 60g cointreau as well as the rum.

..and even easier to drink after a few glasses      Thx JD - great idea - shame it is now autumn !  needed that for summer.

Thanks for this recipe Judydawn!  My husband suggested that it was cocktail weather (very warm here in Phillip Island) and I checked in the EDC, but alas no triple sec or cointreau in the cupboard.  Did a search on this forum and landed on your recipe ... so far we have made strawberry and banana daiquiris . . . yum, yum!  I'm eyeing the fruitbowl about what to try next!  Thanks!

Judy,

My recipe is very similar to yours - I use 50g of sugar(which I blitz before I add the other ingredients), 250g of strawberries, 1 MC of white rum and 400-500g of ice cubes.

i am guessing 50/50

[judydawn]

Oh darn, I forgot all about it.  What was the next step and when was I supposed to do it???

[judydawn]

Ah, I found it - the note on the calendar that is.  Next step was to be on the 28th December - I should look at my calendar more often Uni  Wonder where I put the note on what to do next though

[fundj&e]

  did you use 300mls of vodka?

[judydawn]

I have no idea Uni, I have found the bottle of vodka with grated lemon rind in it, will measure it out.
