Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

The Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri is almost always made frozen, but in case you want to skip the icy treat and opt for a traditional shaken non alcoholic cocktail recipe we’ve included one that doesn’t require a blender.

If you’re looking for a summertime favorite that’s fun and fruity, the Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri will satisfy your cravings. This recipe is sure to impress as we skip the artificial mixers and build this non alcoholic cocktail with real fruit and fresh ingredients. You can’t make this one without actual strawberries, it’s just not the same!

This recipe features award-winning NA spirit Everleaf Mountain, a vibrant and aromatic aperitif boasting an exquisite botanical blend of Japanese cherry blossom, rosehip, and of course, strawberry. It’s delicious even with just tonic and ice, but in this recipe, it elevates the Strawberry Daiquiri to knockout territory.
