# Strawberry Rum Drinks: 3 Fresh & Frozen Recipes

Published 24 October 2026

◆ STRAWBERRY & SPICE ◆

Choose a frozen strawberry daiquiri, a light strawberry soda or a creamy coconut drink on ice. These three single-serving recipes use different methods and textures, with real fruit added separately rather than strawberry-flavoured rum.

The measures below are our suggested adaptations, not claims of a comparative tasting. Strawberry ripeness changes the sweetness: start with the smaller syrup measure and adjust to your fruit.

## Before you mix

Wash fresh strawberries, remove their green tops and weigh the fruit after hulling. For frozen berries, check the pack and follow any preparation or cooking instructions before use. Chill the soda and coconut milk in advance.

For the optional 1:1 sugar syrup, dissolve equal weights of sugar and warm water, then cool and refrigerate. These recipes use small amounts of the cooled syrup, not dry sugar. Never add hot syrup to a sealed shaker.

## 1. Frozen Strawberry Spiced Rum Daiquiri

Blended · Frozen · Serves 1 · 5 minutes

A strawberry-forward, slushy adaptation of the rum, lime and sugar format. Frozen fruit gives it body; spiced rum replaces the usual white rum. This is a fruit variation, not a claim to be the classic Cuban daiquiri.

### Ingredients

- 40ml Dilay 1949 Panjabi Spiced Rum
- 100g frozen hulled strawberries, suitable for eating without cooking
- 20ml fresh lime juice
- 5–10ml 1:1 sugar syrup
- 40g crushed ice

### Method

1. Check the frozen strawberry pack: use fruit suitable for eating without cooking and follow any preparation instructions. Add the strawberries, rum, lime juice and 5ml syrup to a blender rated for ice.
2. Add the crushed ice. Blend in short bursts until smooth and spoonably slushy. If the blades stop turning, switch off before scraping the sides; add a little cold water if needed.
3. Taste and add up to another 5ml syrup if your fruit is tart. Pour into a chilled coupe or small glass and serve immediately.

**Mixing note:** If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them before freezing. Start with the measured ice rather than filling the blender: too much ice dilutes the strawberry flavour.

## 2. Fresh Strawberry Rum Soda

Muddled & built · Over ice · Serves 1 · 4 minutes

A tall, fizzy drink made with fresh strawberries rather than a flavoured spirit. It leaves out the mint and lime of a mojito, and uses a strained berry base instead of a blended frozen texture.

### Ingredients

- 40ml Dilay 1949 Panjabi Spiced Rum
- 60g washed, hulled fresh strawberries
- 10ml fresh lemon juice
- 5ml 1:1 sugar syrup (optional)
- 100ml chilled soda water
- Ice cubes
- A washed strawberry slice, to garnish

### Method

1. Mash the strawberries in a mixing glass with the lemon juice and optional syrup until juicy.
2. Add the rum and stir. Press the mixture through a fine sieve into a highball glass, leaving most pulp and seeds behind.
3. Fill the glass with ice, top with chilled soda water and stir gently once. Garnish with a strawberry slice. Never shake the fizzy soda in a sealed shaker.

**Mixing note:** Soda water adds fizz without extra sweetness. Use ripe fruit, and add the optional syrup only if the berries need it.

Prefer mint and lime without the strawberries? Make our spiced rum mojito (https://dilay1949spicedrum.com/spiced-rum-cocktails/spiced-rum-mojito).

## 3. Strawberry & Coconut Rum on Ice

Shaken · Over ice · Serves 1 · 5 minutes

A short, creamy strawberry drink using coconut milk rather than dairy or coconut-flavoured rum. It has no pineapple and is not a piña colada: the berries and coconut are the main mixers.

### Ingredients

- 35ml Dilay 1949 Panjabi Spiced Rum
- 70g washed, hulled fresh strawberries
- 60ml unsweetened canned coconut milk, stirred smooth and chilled
- 5ml 1:1 sugar syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes

### Method

1. Stir the coconut milk until its cream and liquid are evenly combined, then measure 60ml. Keep it cold.
2. Mash the strawberries thoroughly in a shaker. Add the rum, chilled coconut milk and optional syrup.
3. Add ice, seal and shake for 15 seconds. Strain through a fine sieve into a rocks glass over fresh ice, pressing gently to release the liquid. Serve immediately.

**Mixing note:** Use unsweetened coconut milk, not sweetened cream of coconut or a thin coconut drinking beverage. These are different ingredients and change both body and sweetness.

## Fruit in the glass, spice in the rum

Dilay 1949 is a cardamom-led spiced rum (https://dilay1949spicedrum.com/) with ginger, black pepper and gentle chilli warmth. It is not strawberry- or coconut-flavoured rum: those ingredients are added when you mix the drink.

Dilay contains no added sugar, but that does not make these cocktails sugar-free. Fruit contributes natural sugars and syrup adds more. Use unsweetened coconut milk in the creamy recipe so you can control any extra sweetness.

## Serving more than one?

Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings, but blend or shake in small batches so your equipment is not overfilled. Build each soda drink separately and add the fizz last. Keep fruit and mixers refrigerated until needed.

For a different fruit combination served from a jug, follow the existing spiced rum punch recipe (https://dilay1949spicedrum.com/spiced-rum-cocktails/spiced-rum-punch).

## Strawberry rum drink FAQs

### What rum works in strawberry drinks?

White rum keeps a strawberry drink fruit-led; spiced rum adds aromatic spice. These recipes use Dilay 1949, but you can substitute the same measure of a rum you enjoy. A pre-sweetened or flavoured bottle may need less syrup.

### Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries?

Use frozen berries for the blended daiquiri and fresh, washed, hulled berries for the soda and coconut drinks. Check frozen fruit packaging and follow any cooking or preparation instructions; do not put fruit that requires cooking straight into a cold cocktail.

### Do I need strawberry-flavoured rum?

No. Each drink gets its strawberry flavour from separately added fruit. Dilay 1949 is cardamom-led spiced rum, not a strawberry-flavoured rum.

### Are these strawberry rum drinks sugar-free?

No. Dilay rum contains no added sugar, but strawberries contain naturally occurring sugars and optional sugar syrup adds more. The no-added-sugar description applies to the rum, not the finished drinks.

### Can I make the drinks ahead?

Wash and hull the fruit, chill your mixers and prepare the sugar syrup ahead. Keep prepared ingredients refrigerated. Blend or shake just before serving and add soda last; frozen drinks melt and fizzy drinks lose their bubbles if left standing.

## More flavours to explore

For separately added honey rather than berries, try our honey rum cocktails (https://dilay1949spicedrum.com/honey-rum-cocktails). To choose among non-fruit mixers, compare our spiced rum mixers (https://dilay1949spicedrum.com/spiced-rum-mixers).

## Recipe references

The frozen drink adapts the strawberry, rum and lime format of BBC Good Food’s frozen strawberry daiquiri (https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/frozen-strawberry-daiquiri). The creamy serve draws on the strawberry, coconut milk and rum pairing in Join Jules’ strawberry coconut daiquiri (https://joinjules.com/recipes/strawberry-coconut-daiquiri/). The soda drink is our own suggested combination; the measures and methods throughout are our adaptations.

For adults aged 18+. Please drink responsibly. Fruit and mixers do not reduce alcohol’s effects.
