Blueberry Daiquiri | Bountiful and Refreshing

This blueberry daiquiri recipe stands out not only because of its beautiful hue but because it is as vibrant in flavor as it looks. It is so perfect that you will want to savor it, one refreshing sip at a time!

I had never consumed a blueberry daiquiri before.

• Strawberry?  Yes
• Banana?  Yes
• Plain?  Yes
• Blueberry?  No

What the heck?  What . . . have . . . I . . . been . . . thinking?

I hadn’t made many blueberry drinks.  In fact, I’ve only blogged about one previously on Dishes Delish: the blueberry mint cosmo.  It’s a great drink, but I must say that this blueberry daiquiri beats the cosmo in taste.  At least in my humble opinion!

I named it bountiful because of how flavorful this blueberry daiquiri is.  You will be smacking your lips every single time you take a sip.

Oh, wait!  I smack my lips every time I eat or drink anything.

What other fruit can I use to make a frozen daiquiri?

You can make fruit daiquiris with any fruit. Seriously, it’s all good!

Do I have to have these daiquiris frozen?

No. In fact, my plain daiquiri is not frozen.  Just know that if you don’t blend your daiquiri, it will be a totally different cocktail. You would either have to use fruit juice or muddle the fruit and shake to mix.

To Muddle or not to muddle, that is the question

The thing with muddling is you release the juice from the fruit, but you do not pulverize the skin.  So, you won’t get the same rich, vibrant flavor that you would get if you use the blender.  When you blend fruit, particularly berries, you get the whole berry flavor, not just the juice.

Muddling is a great tool and perfect for some cocktails, but if you want a full bodied, refreshing, ice cold cocktail, use the blender!

Tips for making the Blueberry Daiquiri

• You don’t have to use the best quality liquor in these daiquiris, although you can if you want
• The final color is more reddish than blue because of the lime juice
• Wash the blueberries well before blending them (or eating them for that matter)
• Use a high powered blender
• Even though I say 2 cups, the amount of ice you use is dependent on the size of your blender
• The more ice you use, the thicker your blueberry daiquiri will be
• Use whatever glassware you have on hand, but the tulip glass is the traditional way to serve a daiquiri.  I also love showing off this cocktail in a few different shaped glasses

How to Mix the Blueberry Daiquiri

Pre-step

The ingredients: rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and a bunch of blueberries.  After measuring each ingredient, pour it into your blender container.

Also, take 2 martini picks and spear 4 blueberries to each pick for the garnish.  If you don’t have martini picks, toothpicks will do.

Step one

Gather the ingredients – washed blueberries, rum, limes and simple syrup.

Step two

Measure 4 ounces of rum. (1)

Step three

Measure 2 ounces of lime juice. (2)

Step four

Measure 1 ounce of simple syrup. (3)

Step five

Add the blueberries.

Step six

Add 1 – 2 cups of ice, cap your blender and process until smooth and thick.

I’m known for using different glasses when serving my cocktails, so I decided on using a tulip glass and double old fashioned glass for this blueberry daiquiri.

Pour the contents of the blender between the two glasses and lay the picks across the top of the glasses.

Beautiful!

Let’s look at another photo of the blueberry daiquiri!

And now for a view of the double old fashioned glass with the blueberry daiquiri in it!

M-m-good!

I hope you enjoyed this blueberry daiquiri recipe as much as I did drinking it!
