Fruit purée gives this daiquiri body, so it slushes into a thick, spoonable drink with a modest amount of rum.
Ingredients
- 150 ml white rum (37.5% ABV)
- 400 ml strawberry purée (blended and sieved strawberries)
- 100 ml lime juice
- 200 ml sugar syrup (120 g sugar and 120 ml water)
- 600 ml cold water
Allergens to watch: None of the 14 regulated allergens. Always check the labels of the brands you use.
Method
- Blend and sieve the strawberries.
- Mix with the rum, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup and water.
- Chill, then pour into the machine below the maximum fill line.
- Run the Frozen Cocktail setting.
- Serve in small glasses.
Sugar check
120 g of sugar in about 1,450 ml is roughly 8.3 g per 100 ml, plus the strawberries’ own sugar.
Strength and UK units
UK units = ABV (%) × volume (ml) ÷ 1,000 (the NHS formula)
| Ingredient | Sum | Units |
|---|---|---|
| white rum | 37.5 × 150 ÷ 1,000 | 5.63 |
| Whole batch | 5.6 | |
| Per serving (6 servings) | 0.9 |
The mixed batch is roughly 3.9% ABV (56 ml of pure alcohol in about 1.45 litres) — inside the 2.8–16% range Ninja gives for the original SLUSHi (FS301UK) cocktail setting.
Spirits and liqueurs vary: if the bottle you use has a different ABV, the units change. Our serving size is 242 ml; a bigger glass means more units.
Tips
- Sieve the purée — seeds and pulp can block the tap.
- For an alcohol-free version, swap the rum for the same amount of cold water.
