Daiquiri Slush

Slushie machineMartiniCoupe glass

This makes a 1 litre batch for a slushie machine. The sugar and alcohol are balanced so it freezes properly, so stick to the amounts.

Ingredients

How to make it

Combine the rum, lime juice, simple syrup and water in a jug. Stir until the syrup is fully mixed in, then pour into the slushie machine and run its alcoholic preset (the batch card shows which one) until the slush is ready. Serve in chilled coupes with a lime wheel.

About the Daiquiri Slush

Named after the Daiquirí iron mines near Santiago de Cuba, where American engineer Jennings Cox is credited with mixing rum, lime and sugar around 1900. Havana's El Floridita later made the frozen version famous.
