Giraffe's Low-Carb Strawberry Daiquiri by the Pool


There's nothing like sitting by the pool on a hot summer day, enjoying a frozen daiquiri.

We thoroughly enjoy our Low-Carb Strawberry Daiquiris that not only quench our thirst, but also tantalize our taste buds.

The fresh strawberry flavor, coupled with the hint of lime and rum, tricks out minds into thinking we are drinking the real thing.  However, our bodies know that they contain hardly any carbs.

Preparation time is less than 5 minutes, while blender to mouth time is only 1-2 minutes.

Our ingredients includes:


  • 6-8 Ice Cubes
  • 7 Strawberries
  • 1 1/2 Shots Clear Rum
  • 1 Shot Lime Juice
  • 1/2 Cup of Lemon Flavored Soda Water (or flavor of choice)
  • 1/4th Cup Sweetener of Choice
We'll start out by placing our ice cubes in our food processor and will place aside.


Next, we'll top 6 of our strawberries, leaving 1 aside for our later garnish.



We'll then, place our topped strawberries, Soda Water, Lime Juice, rum, and sweetener in our food processor and will cover.










Next, we'll blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until our mixture has fully liquefied and our ice has been completely crushed.

Just a little note:  The last time I crushed ice in our food processor, I merely covered the processor and pressed the high button.  Suddenly, the cover flew off and the mixture spewed all over our immediate area. 😅😅

Boy, what a mess I made. 😅

In other words, make certain to tightly hold your cover, to avoid any catastrophes. 😅




Now that was easy!  Our mouths are drooling in anticipation of our fabulous daiquiris! 

We just have one more addition and our cocktails are ready..


We'll garnish our beverage with a fresh strawberry, to make our daiquiri complete.


Oh boy! Our Daiquiris are sweet, full of strawberry flavor, and only offers a hint of rum.  

The rum is definitely present, but, can hardly be tasted.  That's the sign of a good daiquiri.   


We always try not to drink too many, as they taste mighty fine!  However, we don't want the liquor to unexpectedly sneak up on us.  😆😅😆

We hope you enjoy your sunny pool day with our flavorful Low-Carb Strawberry Daiquiri!

Don't drink and drive...be safe...but, as always...

From our kitchen to yours ~

Enjoy!
