Gelatin Free Frozen Daiquiri
Tart, icy, and impossibly refreshing, this blended cocktail is the kind of drink that makes a regular Tuesday feel like a beach vacation. It comes together in under a minute with just four ingredients — white rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and crushed ice — so there's no excuse not to make it. Many store-bought frozen drink mixes and cocktail syrups sneak in gelatin or other animal-derived stabilizers as thickeners, but this recipe skips all of that entirely. Every ingredient here is straightforwardly plant-based and clean, which means the only thing giving this drink its thick, slushy texture is the blender doing its job. Fresh lime juice is the real star, cutting through the sweetness of the simple syrup with a bright, citrusy punch that bottled juice just can't replicate. Serve it in a chilled glass with a lime wheel on the rim and it looks like something you'd pay twelve dollars for at a rooftop bar.
