Frozen Herbal

The Frozen Mint Daiquiri is a blended variation of the classic Daiquiri that incorporates fresh mint leaves along with light rum, lime juice, and sugar blended with crushed ice. The mint adds a cooling, aromatic dimension to the tart-sweet rum cocktail, making it particularly refreshing in warm weather. The drink is served in an old-fashioned glass in its slushy, blended form.

History & Origins

The Daiquiri's roots trace to late 19th-century Cuba, where light rum, lime, and sugar were combined into the foundational recipe. The frozen mint variation follows the tradition of herb-enhanced Daiquiris popularized at La Floridita in Havana in the 1930s under Constantino Ribalaigua Vert. The specific frozen-mint combination draws on the same mint-rum affinity that defines the Mojito.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: fresh spearmint and bright lime zest with light rum in the background. Palate: icy, tart, and refreshing with mint's cooling sensation complementing the rum's subtle sweetness and the lime's acidity. Finish: clean and minty with a lingering lime tartness and a cool, refreshing fade.

Pro Tip

Add the mint leaves directly to the blender with the other ingredients and blend briefly — a few seconds ensures even distribution without turning the drink brown from over-processing the mint.
