Keto Strawberry Daiquiri

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?

Yes! Frozen strawberries actually make it slushier. I use them interchangeably with fresh.

What can I substitute for monkfruit blend sweetener?

Erythritol or stevia both work. Start with less and taste as you go since sweetness varies between brands.

How can I make this daiquiri non-alcoholic?

Replace the rum with water or sparkling water. Tastes just as good without the booze.

How should I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Give it a quick blend before serving to get the slushy texture back.

Is this recipe suitable for a keto diet?

Yes! Only 2.4g net carbs per serving, so it fits easily into your daily macros.

Low Carb Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe

If you love cocktails with cute little umbrellas, you need to try this frozen strawberry daiquiri. I use fresh strawberries instead of syrup mix, which is loaded with high fructose corn syrup and added sugars. Some recipes call for making simple syrup ahead of time, but that’s an extra step I skip.

My recipe doesn’t have added sugars. I sweeten it lightly with monkfruit and let the strawberries do the heavy lifting for flavor. Honestly, I think it tastes better than the overly sweet versions you get at bars.

A squeeze of lime juice rounds out the flavor, which is traditional in daiquiris.

Is Rum Low Carb?

Alcohol and diets usually don’t mix, but most straight spirits are actually zero carb. Vodka, tequila, whisky, gin, rum, all carb-free. It’s the mixers that get you into trouble, not the alcohol itself.

No rum on hand? Vodka works just as well.

Drinking on a Diet

I’m not super strict about alcohol. An occasional drink at a barbecue or beach day isn’t going to derail your progress. Just know that your body prioritizes metabolizing alcohol over everything else, so I don’t make it a nightly habit. When I do drink, I stick to spirits and low-carb mixers.

Are Strawberries Low Carb?

Strawberries are one of the friendlier fruits for keto. A full cup has about 12g total carbs, so the amount in this recipe barely makes a dent.

Fresh or Frozen Strawberries

Fresh or frozen strawberries both work here. Frozen are actually great because they make the drink extra slushy without needing as much ice. I usually use whatever I have on hand.

Mocktail Version

For a mocktail version, swap the rum for water or sparkling water. My kids love it this way.

    I've made my way through probably four other keto frozen cocktail recipes looking for something that doesn't taste like flavored ice water. This one holds up. The lime juice is what other recipes skip or skimp on, and it makes a real difference here. First keto frozen drink I've actually wanted a second glass of.

      Lime was the last adjustment I made. Batch before that tasted off and I couldn't figure out why until I doubled it.

    Made this on a snow day which felt ridiculous, but frozen strawberries + cutting the ice back to about a cup and a half gives you something closer to a granita. Thicker, more concentrated strawberry flavor. Better version for me.

      Less ice with frozen strawberries pulls out so much more flavor. Snow day actually makes sense for that version. I'd go granita over slushy any day personally.

    I make something similar, I use 1/2 frozen and 1/2 fresh berries (any kind you like) rum and lemon juice! Nix the artifical sweeteners because berries tend to be sweet enough. Blend and enjoy!

      Love the half-and-half berry combo. And honestly lemon works (I use lime because it reads more 'daiquiri' to me, but lemon's not wrong). The sweetener thing depends on the berries though. Off-season strawberries from the store can be pretty tart, which is why I kept the monkfruit in.
