Tips & Tricks

• If your daiquiri is still too thick after blending, you can add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice or water to thin it out so that it can be poured.
• You can use white rum, dark rum or even Malibu rum with this recipe. You can even give it an extra flavor boost by adding watermelon liqueurs.
• Look for seedless watermelon, so you don’t have to worry about removing seeds or accidentally getting some in your drink.
• Leave out the rum to create a kid-friendly version of this drink. You can use a bit of pineapple, orange, or other fruit juice in place of the rum.
• Buy and freeze extra watermelon when it’s in season and on sale. This watermelon daiquiri recipe will bring the back the taste of summer any time of year!
