BHA & BHT Free Frozen Daiquiri
Tart, icy, and endlessly refreshing, this blended cocktail is the kind of drink that makes a warm afternoon feel like a vacation. What most people don't realize is that many bottled cocktail mixes and pre-made frozen drinks contain synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT to extend their shelf life ā which means the freezer aisle is largely off-limits if you're avoiding those additives. Making it from scratch sidesteps all of that completely. Fresh lime juice, white rum, and a simple homemade syrup are all you need, and every ingredient here is clean and straightforward. The blender does the heavy lifting, turning crushed ice into a thick, slushy texture that's genuinely better than anything that comes out of a pouch or a bag. A lime wheel on the rim keeps things looking polished without any extra effort. It's the kind of recipe you'll come back to all summer long.
