It’s July. We’re approaching a long weekend. Do you have a frozen cocktail in your hand? Is there a scoop of ice cream in that cocktail? No? Let’s change that.

These Frozen Cherry Daiquiris are a fun and tasty summer cocktail. They are cold, refreshing, and fruity. They are equally great on their own or with the addition of vanilla ice cream. Note: A spiked cherry slushie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is never a bad idea.

Daiquiri Recipe

These frozen daiquiris get their flavor from frozen sweet cherries, cherry juice, and a splash of lime juice. They forgo the red dye and artificial cherry flavor that you might see in some “cherry flavored” drinks. We have real cherry flavor in ever delicious sip!

Rum adds the classic flavor to these daiquiris, and let me tell you, they are dangerously delicious!

Speaking of dyes and artificial flavors, these floats remind me of one one of my favorite childhood treats – a cherry Mr. Misty Float from Dairy Queen. Do you guys remember those?

They are SO good! Icy, creamy, tangy and sweet, and loaded with lots of bright red food coloring. Ha!

These floats are a grown up version of that childhood favorite. They definitely go down easily.

Ingredients

Instructions

Cherry ice cubes (allow time to freeze):

Pour one cup of cherry juice into an ice cube tray (approximately 12 ice cubes) and freeze until solid.

Daiquiris:

Place ½ cup cherry juice, lime juice, rum, frozen cherries, and all of the cherry juice ice cubes into a blender. Blend until completely combined and slushy. If desired, add additional plain ice cubes to thicken it. You can also blend in a little granulated sugar if you’d like it sweeter. Serve immediately. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’d like to make a float.
