Strawberry Daiquiri Sorbet Lime (Printable)

A vibrant blend of strawberries, lime zest, and rum creates a refreshing sorbet perfect for warm days.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - Zest of 2 limes
03 - 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, about 2 limes

→ Sweetener

04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/2 cup water

→ Alcohol

06 - 1/4 cup white rum

→ Garnish

07 - Extra lime zest for serving, optional
08 - Fresh mint leaves, optional

# How To Make:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
02 - In a blender or food processor, combine strawberries, lime juice, lime zest, cooled syrup, and rum. Blend until smooth and uniform.
03 - Pour the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp for a refined texture, if desired.
04 - Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions until thick and slushy in consistency.
05 - Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container, cover securely, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
06 - Scoop sorbet into bowls or glasses, garnish with extra lime zest and mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a strawberry daiquiri but without the brain freeze guilt, served in an elegant scoop.
  • No ice cream maker? The texture comes out silky even if you freeze and stir it by hand every couple hours.
  • Adults love it because of the rum, but kids will fight you for a bowl of the alcohol-free version.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the syrup before blending—warm syrup will start melting your sorbet the moment it goes in the ice cream maker, and you'll end up with something more like a slush than a proper frozen dessert.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow pan and stir it every thirty minutes for three to four hours until it reaches that grainy, icy texture that's still scoopable.
03 -
  • Zest your limes before you juice them—once they're cut in half, it's nearly impossible to get a decent amount of zest without also getting the bitter white pith.
  • If your strawberries are particularly tart, taste the mixture before freezing and add an extra tablespoon of sugar if needed; tartness gets muted when frozen, so what tastes right at room temperature might taste flat once it's icy.
