As the warmer weather approaches, I find my taste in food and drink changes. Now that patio season is here, both of those things definitely take a bigger priority in my life! What is summer without good food and drink to accompany us and our friends out on the patio? With that being said, I wanted to make a new drink that was refreshing and sweet for the summer time, with a bit of a fresh and clean twist to it. Thankfully, Chic Choc Rum played a big part in making this magic happen!
Because I knew that I wanted to come up with a refreshing and clean drink, I decided to play with your classic Strawberry Daiquiri and add some Coconut to it. Why? Well coconut is super tropical and summery, and I also took inspiration from the idea of mixing a Pina Colada and a Daiquiri together, and came up with this refreshing recipe! Using Chic Choc Rum gives this a spicy, herbal flavour as it’s infused with a bouquet of indigenous spices from the Chic-Choc Mountain region of northern Quebec.
- 3 oz Chic Choc Rum
- Handful of fresh strawberries
- Coconut Water
- Strawberry Daquiri Mix
- Coconut Shavings
- Lime
- Fill your blender with your desired amount of ice.
- Add 3 oz of Chic Choc Rum, 200 ml of strawberry daiquiri mix, a handful of fresh strawberries, a splash of coconut water, and a handful of coconut shavings.
- While it is blending, cut a lime in half and rim your glass, then dip it in coconut shavings.
- Pour and serve!
- The rim is definitely optional, but I think it makes it much more fun, and Instagramable!
