I’ve always associated daiquiris with artificial tasting, syrupy sweet concoctions from the likes of Chili’s. Imagine my surprise, while flipping through Market-Fresh Mixology when I discovered that traditional daiquiris are actually made with rum, lime juice, sugar and optionally, orange liqueur. I decided to try making my own daiquiris, one with raspberries and the other with blackberries. The raspberry daiquiri was the clear winner in the taste department, so I’ve typed up the recipe below.
Raspberry Daiquiri
Raspberry daiquiri recipe made with fresh, natural ingredients. Cool down with this beautiful summer cocktail.
Ingredients
Per cocktail
- 10 raspberries
- ½ ounce orange liqueur (optional, I didn’t use it)
- 2 ounces rum
- ½ teaspoon raw sugar
- one lime, juiced
For the rim
- 1 small lime wedge
- Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around the rim of a martini glass. Dip the top of the glass into a plate sprinkled with sugar.
- In a mixing glass, muddle the raspberries with the lime juice and sugar.
- Add rum and lots of ice. Shake well.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve into a martini glass. The sieve helps catch the raspberry seeds.
- Garnish with a lime twist (optional). Cheers!
Notes

Haha, I had to laugh because when I think of Daiquiri I think of Chili’s too! and it annoys me even more when people assume that I know how to make one because I am from Puerto Rico (I personally don’t see the relation of both :-) But I like the sound of this recipe because it looks like it would have a light flavor, and very refreshing.
How funny! I would never assume that a Puerto Rican would inherently know how to make a daiquiri. If you ever want to learn, though, give this raspberry daiquiri a try. It’s so good!
I associate daiquiris with trips to Mexico. I love the way you put the rasp one up front since it was better. Mmmm

I’ve always had the same preconceptions about daiquiris! But I love fresh fruit in cocktails, so I’ll this lovely thing in mind the next time I make something fancy
