Tasting Notes

The Firecracker Daiquiri is bright, fruity, and perfectly refreshing with a smooth, slushy texture. Light rum sets a clean, crisp base while frozen strawberries add natural sweetness and vibrant color. Lemon Flower Sipp brings a floral, citrusy sparkle that makes this drink stand out, and a splash of fresh lemon juice adds just the right amount of tang to balance the sweetness. Served ice-cold and garnished with a lemon wheel or fresh strawberry, this cocktail is a fun and festive choice for hot days and lively celebrations.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a blender to achieve the smooth, frozen texture that makes this drink so refreshing. A jigger ensures your measurements are precise. Serve it in a coupe or daiquiri glass to show off the vibrant color and frosty texture. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to prepare the lemon wheel or fresh strawberry garnish. Chill your glass beforehand for an even colder, more refreshing drink.

Ingredients

1.5 oz light rum
Handful of frozen strawberries
4 oz Lemon Flower Sipp (chilled)
0.5 oz lemon juice
Garnish: lemon wheel or fresh strawberry (optional)

Instructions

In a blender, combine light rum, frozen strawberries, lemon juice, and Lemon Flower Sipp. Blend until smooth and slushy.
Pour into a chilled coupe or daiquiri glass.
Add a lemon wheel or fresh strawberry for a festive touch.

Pro Tips

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
Adjust the sweetness by adding a little simple syrup if desired.
Chill all ingredients before blending to help maintain the frozen texture.
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more Lemon Flower Sipp; if it’s too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries.
Serve immediately to enjoy the icy texture and fresh flavors at their best.

When to Serve

The Firecracker Daiquiri is perfect for summer parties, poolside lounging, and holiday celebrations like the Fourth of July. Its bold color and refreshing flavor make it a great choice for casual get-togethers or as a festive signature drink for special events. Serve it as a fun afternoon refresher or as a light, fruity dessert cocktail.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For light rum, try Bacardi Superior, Don Q Cristal, or Cruzan Light Rum.
These brands offer a smooth, clean flavor that pairs well with the bright fruit and citrus notes.
If you can’t find Lemon Flower Sipp, substitute with a quality sparkling lemonade or a floral-infused sparkling water to keep the drink light and refreshing.
