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.
