Daiquiri-Homemade Virgin Daiquiri

Recipe link

Ok, so last summer we indulged in these chocolate drinks quite a bit, but this summer we were all about these daiquiris!  SO delicious!  We always have enough left over in a batch to make 4 popsicles too, so we always have a nice little treat the next day as well.

Here’s what I do differently:

1/2 Tbsp of lime juice from a bottle (I get the lime thing, but it’s not my fav)
3 Tbsp of maple agave syrup (cuz, why not?)

I’ve also run into days where we really want these, but we don’t have the coconut water or kombucha.  (I mean, who really has these on hand all the time?)  So, I have substituted water in place of coconut water and fizzy “seltzer” water in place of the Kombucha with perfectly yummy results.  My biggest concern on these is just that I really grind up the ice and strawberries to eliminate choking hazards, since the kiddos drink these through their reusable straws.

So refreshing and simple.  Love the left-over popsicles.  And, seriously, having these at any food establishment would run you some big bucks.  My kids love this treat, and it’s a great incentive on sluggish homeschool days.  (I try to stress that most kids at public schools aren’t sipping on daiquiris while they do their math, but I don’t know that homeschool kids can really grasp a world where they don’t get to snack during lessons and go potty whenever they want.  ha)
