I just made a Strawberry Daiquiri with zero added sugar that’s Keto Cocktails-approved and stays low in carbs so my summer sipping doesn’t wreck my macros.

Jump to Recipe

I am obsessed with this Strawberry Daiquiri because it tastes like summer but skips the sugar crash. I love how frozen strawberries and fresh lime juice make it bright and punchy, not syrupy and sickly.

It feels grown-up and silly at once, like you could sip it on a sticky boardwalk or by your kitchen sink. Keto Cocktails usually promise guilt-free fun; this one actually delivers.

It’s icy, tart, and sweet in a natural way. I reach for it when I want a treat that fits my low-carb life.

Total refreshment. No regrets and zero fake aftertaste.

Seriously no lie.

Ingredients

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

Frozen strawberries: Bright, naturally sweet and thickens the drink into a chilly, fruity sip.
Fresh lime juice: Tangy lift that balances sweetness and keeps it tasting fresh.
White rum: Light boozy warmth that makes it feel like a proper cocktail.
Powdered erythritol or monk fruit: Sweetness without sugar, keeps calories way down.
Ice: Makes it slushy and refreshing, adjust for thicker or thinner texture.
Cold or sparkling water: Loosens it up a touch and keeps it fizzy if you want.
Fresh mint leaves: Adds cool herbal note, nice aroma when you sip.
Lime wheel or wedge: Cute garnish and extra zing if you squeeze it in.

Ingredient Quantities

Frozen strawberries, 1 cup (about 150 g)

Fresh lime juice, 1 oz (about 1 lime)

White rum, 2 oz (60 ml) (or light rum substitute of choice)

Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, 1 to 2 tsp (to taste)

Ice, 1/2 to 1 cup (120 to 240 ml) depending how slushy you want it

Cold water or sparkling water, 2 tbsp (to loosen if needed)

Fresh mint leaves, a few for garnish (optional)

Lime wheel or wedge for garnish (optional)

How to Make this

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

1. Dump 1 cup (about 150 g) frozen strawberries into a blender.

2. Add 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 lime), 2 oz (60 ml) white rum, and 1 to 2 teaspoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener depending how sweet you like it.

3. Toss in 1/2 to 1 cup ice (120 to 240 ml) depending on how slushy you want the daiquiri; less ice for a looser drink, more for a thick slush.

4. If the mixture looks too thick or your blender struggles, add 2 tablespoons cold water or sparkling water to loosen it up, don’t add too much or you’ll water down the flavor.

5. Secure the lid and blend on high for 20 to 45 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice; you want a smooth, scoopable texture but not totally melted.

6. Taste and adjust: add more sweetener a 1/2 tsp at a time if needed, or a little extra lime if it needs brightness; blend briefly after any additions.

7. Pour into a chilled glass and tap the bottom to settle the slush, top up with a splash of sparkling water if you want some fizz.

8. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves and a lime wheel or wedge on the rim, serve immediately while cold and slushy.

9. Tips: use very cold frozen berries for best texture, powdered sweetener blends better than granulated, and if you prefer alcohol-free just omit the rum and add a little extra lime and sparkling water.

Equipment Needed

1. Blender that can crush ice (high speed if you got one)
2. 1 cup measuring cup for berries and ice
3. Liquid measuring cup for rum and lime juice (or a jigger)
4. Teaspoon measure for powdered sweetener
5. Citrus juicer or reamer for the lime
6. Rubber spatula or spoon to scrape the sides while blending
7. Small bowl or pitcher to test adjustments or hold extra water/sparkling water
8. Paring knife and cutting board for the lime wheel or wedge
9. Chilled serving glass or coupe (and a spoon or straw to serve)

FAQ

Can I make this non alcoholic? Yes. Just skip the rum and add an extra ounce of cold water or sparkling water, or a splash of sugar free soda. It won't be as boozy but still bright and refreshing.

What if I only have fresh strawberries? Use them, but add more ice or chill them first. Fresh berries make it less slushy, so freeze for 30 to 60 minutes if you want that frozen texture.

Why powdered erythritol or monk fruit and how much should I use? Powdered sweeteners blend smoother and won't make the drink grainy. Start with 1 tsp, taste, then add up to 2 tsp if you need it sweeter.

Can I use regular sugar instead? Sure, but that ruins the low calorie, no added sugar goal. If you do use sugar, use about 1 to 1 1/2 tsp dissolved in the lime juice first so it mixes better.

How low calorie is this? About 100 to 150 calories depending on the rum you use and how much sweetener you add. Using a light rum and powdered zero calorie sweetener keeps it very low.

Can I make it ahead and store it? Not really. It’s best blended and served right away for the best texture. You can store leftover in the fridge for a few hours but it will be watery; just give it a quick shake or re-blend with a few ice cubes.

Keto Strawberry Daiquiri (Vegan + No Added Sugar + Low Calorie) Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Frozen strawberries: swap for frozen raspberries or a mixed berry blend (slightly lower carbs), or use fresh strawberries plus extra ice if you dont have frozen ones.
Fresh lime juice: use fresh lemon juice for a brighter flavor, or bottled lime juice in a pinch (use a little less if it tastes sharp).
White rum: replace with vodka or tequila for a different profile, or use an alcohol free rum alternative or a splash of rum extract plus sparkling water for a zero alcohol version.
Powdered erythritol or monk fruit: substitute powdered allulose for a more natural mouthfeel, or use a stevia blend (start with a tiny amount, its much sweeter).

Pro Tips

1. Freeze extra strawberries in single layers on a tray so they dont clump together in the bag. That way your blender gets small pieces right away and you get a smoother slush without having to let things melt.

2. Pulse the blender first, scrape the sides, then blitz at high speed for short bursts. Blending too long heats the drink and makes it watery, pulsing keeps it cold and scoopable.

3. If seeds or tiny chunks bother you, press the blended mix through a coarse strainer or sieve into a glass. You lose a hair of texture but the result is silkier and more bar-quality.

4. Taste as you go and change one thing at a time. Add tiny bits of sweetener or lime, blend briefly, taste again. Small adjustments prevent overcorrecting and ending up too sweet or too sour.
