Daiquiri Ice exactly what we crave as soon as the heat turns up.
This recipe for daiquiri ice tastes like Baskin-Robbins vintage, is perfect for what I need today. I even dusted off the ice cream maker. I am not all about making homemade ice cream, I only bought an ice cream maker just for making this recipe.
This is a lime rum flavored sorbet of sorts. It is kid friendly since it uses rum flavoring instead of actual rum. If you want an adult version you could try adding some real rum to this recipe, but you might find it is more of a slush. See our post on slushsicles or Adult Green Eyed Monsters for why that happens.
Baskin Robbins used to have Daiquiri Ice as part of their 31 flavors. Of course, it would be Andy’s favorite, and if you have been a follower you already know how this story ends. Either the item one of us loves disappears or we move somewhere that it isn’t available.
Apparently, my husband was not the only husband seeking out daiquiri ice. Carrie P, over at Garlic is Love, had the same issue in her house and she set out to create her own recipe for Daiquiri Ice. This is one of the few recipes that I own that is used exactly as it was created. No tinkering is necessary with this one. We think she nailed it.
I always use my ice cream maker, so I’m not sure how it would turn out without one. Might be worth a shot to use any freezer method from any sorbet recipe that does not use an ice cream maker.

For get the rum abstract. Use real rum. Toss these in a blender. Yum!

Made this tonight and YUM. Mine didn’t turn out exactly like B&R’s, but very close – I think it was because I used 2 small limes (where 1 I think would’ve been perfect). Next time, I will use only 1 no matter the size and see. I’ve already shared this recipe with a few others that seem anxious to try it themselves. Thanks!
