Frozen strawberry daiquiris are a great summertime drink. Step it up a notch by adding pineapple flavor to a quick & easy homemade daiquiri.
Jump to RecipeLast week I promised the recipe for the delicious Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiri that Justin and I made with our Grilled Chicken with Tomato Salsa, so here it is! Strawberry daiquiris have always been one of my favorite drinks, whether alcoholic or not.
No matter what I’m drinking, I always like it to be fruity and made with rum. I never remember the names of drinks, but those are my requests. When I was in college, we would go to a place in Downtown Orlando called Chillers. It was a bar with a wall of slushie machines, and all of the drinks were frozen. We didn’t go out drinking often, usually just for a friend’s birthday, but that was my favorite place.
Since the boys stayed the night at Justin’s parent’s house, we decided to try making our own homemade strawberry daiquiri drink. I’ve only ever made it with a mix before. So we started throwing a few things together to see what we could make.
Initially, we were going for a regular strawberry daiquiri using frozen and fresh berries with a few other things, and of course, rum. I tried a sip, and it was pretty good, but still needed a bit more flavor. The drink wasn’t sweet enough for me. So I decided to add some pineapple juice and that made the drink delicious. So now, we have our recipe for a Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiri.
Step by Step
Using frozen strawberries makes the drink thick and gives it the same texture as a frozen mixed drink. We threw a few fresh strawberries in since they have more flavor than the frozen ones. Place the strawberries in the pitcher of a blender.
Add the sugar, lime juice, rum, and pineapple simple syrup. Fill it with the water and blend the drink.
After blending, if your drink is too thin, add a few more frozen berries or a few cubes of ice and blend again. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water or pineapple juice. Blend again until you have the consistency desired.

Great post for drink recipe. It really helps for my next attempt with strawberry drink. Keep it up !
Strawberry daiquiris are one of my favorite drinks, and I love pineapple, so it just seemed to fit!
Daiquiris have always been one of my favorites AND pina coladas 😉
Me too! Although, I prefer daiquiris because a pina colada can sometimes have too much coconut flavor for me.
Oh my goodness I want a daiquiri so bad! This pregnancy is killing me!!
Just a few more months! We went out to eat a few weeks after my oldest was born and usually my husband gets a drink so I drive but not that time!!
This would really hit the spot in the summer heat.
Yes! It’s a perfect summer drink for sure.
This looks so good. I am sharing it on my Facebook page tomorrow. I have the perfect blender.
Thanks for sharing! Having a good blender definitely makes a difference.
having this in the summer would be so awesome and chilling, we all need this 🙂 Thanks for sharing this awesome and easy recipe.
A daiquiri is the perfect summer drink to beat the heat.
This sounds like such a fun and refreshing cocktail recipe! Added to my list of must-makes!
The pineapple adds a lot of flavor to a basic strawberry daiquiri and it’s such a great drink.
Mmm this looks amazing! What kind of rum did you use/do you have a preference? Will definitely be making this!
I usually have Castillo Gold Rum in the cabinet so that’s what we use for almost any drinks we make here. I hope you enjoy it!!
Daiquiris are a definite fave this time of the year! Love how this one combines two of my fave fruits for that refreshing tropical flavor!
It’s a great flavor combination that works so well together and in the summer heat!
That tasted so good on a summer day! Great recipe!
Thanks! Frozen drinks are always a great way to cool off in the heat of summer.
Growing up, my great grandmother would take me once a month to listen to oldies music and we each had a non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. I love your twist on the traditional recipe. I am going to make it soon!
That’s such a great memory! I love when food (or drinks) can bring back great times with family like this.
Daiquiris are one of my favourite summer cocktails! Love how tasty they are. I’ll save this recipe for later, I’ll give it a try.
I always enjoy daiquiris too, which is why I wanted to try to change up the traditional strawberry daiquiri a bit by adding the pineapple.
I love fruity, frozen drinks, too! The addition of pineapple juice sounds like it creates the perfect balance of flavor.
The pineapple adds that little bit of tart to the otherwise very sweet strawberry. It’s a great combination that takes the drink to a whole new level!
What a perfect and fun summer drink! I love the addition of pineapple to the strawberry, it sounds so tropical!
It definitely makes the drink more tropical. But pineapple is one of my favorite fruits, so it was perfect for me.
Yuuum! The feeling you get when you want to jump through the screen.. OMG! Thst looks super delicious. I will certainly give the recipe a try. Strawberries in drinks is one of my favorites for sure.
I know the feeling. When I go to write the posts, it tends to be a couple of weeks after I made and ate/drank the recipes and it makes me want them again!
fruity and rum based drinks are my favorite and the best for summer! This sounds like a perfect way to end a night!
Girl, mine too! I don’t know the names of a lot of drinks, but on the rare occasion I get one while we are out I just ask for the best “fruity rum drink” that they have!
I am into anything pineapple right now! Even pregnant I could totally make a virgin one!
You could easily make a virgin drink. I’ve made this without the alcohol before because my boys wanted to try some.
Oh wow this is what is required, as the heat is kicking in here. Love the fact that this could easily be adapted for people who don’t drink too – fab drink xx
It’s been so hot here lately, too. Our “feels like” temperature was 122F the other day! Frozen drinks and pools are the only way to be outside right now.
Ooohh.. I have had just a strawberry daiquiri. But I wouldn’t have thought to add pineapple to that. This sounds and looks so delicious. Going to have to try that out this weekend. Yummy!
Strawberry and pineapple are my two favorite fruits. I made a strawberry daiquiri and it didn’t have enough flavor, so added the pineapple juice and it was perfect!
I love the idea of making these for summer days. It can be so hot here in Florida and these would be the perfect cool and sweet treat.
I just got home from three weeks in south Florida, I know exactly what you mean! We made this and a few similar drinks often while we were at the beach.
Love this! I will definitely have these for summer!
In my opinion, any frozen drink is great for summer! Add the tropical feel of this one and it’s perfect.
Ooooo I just love frozen drinks! Adding pineapple is a yummy twist. Definitely need to give this a try. Delicious
Frozen drinks are my favorite, too!
Great drink for a hot summer afternoon. I love these !
That’s my favorite time to have a drink like this, too. They are perfect for by the pool or at the beach.
