Whether you’re avoiding booze, making drinks for all ages, or just looking for something refreshing to sip on a hot afternoon, this mocktail hits the spot.

FAQ Shaken Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktail

Can I make this with frozen strawberries?

You can, but it works best with fresh. Frozen fruit tends to break down into pulp and doesn’t strain as cleanly.

What if I don’t have a shaker?

Use a mason jar with a tight lid. Shake it up and strain into a glass.

Is it sweet?

Yes, but you control the sweetness. Start with less syrup and adjust to taste.

Final Sip

This shaken strawberry daiquiri mocktail is elegance in a glass, no blender required. It’s proof that non alcoholic drinks can still feel elevated, intentional, and totally satisfying.
