As a kid, ordering virgin strawberry daiquiris was a sweet indulgence. But as adults, we know the truth: commercial daiquiri mixes are often packed with sugar (a single serving can contain a whopping 33 grams!). To satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt, try this all-natural strawberry daiquiri.
You can use either potato vodka or rum. While rum is derived from wheat, it’s generally considered gluten-free. [Note: If you have severe gluten sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to double-check the specific brand of rum you’re using.]
