  • About

A tart, tropical homage to Florida’s famed key limes and Cuban influence, this frozen daiquiri blends rum with the bright citrus flavors of the Florida Keys. Coconut cream, while not classic, adds luscious creaminess. For a traditional take, simply shake and strain the cocktail into a coupe.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces white rum
  • 2 ounces key lime juice, preferably fresh
  • 1

Method

In a blender, combine the rum, key lime juice, coconut cream, simple syrup, and crushed ice. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour into a rocks or other cocktail glass. Garnish with the lime wheel and serve.
