Apricot Daiquiri



Apricot Daiquiri
Servings: 2 Drinks

Apricot liqueur adds a rich apricot flavor to this drink, but you may substitute apricot brandy if you desire. The drink will taste stronger and won’t be quite as sweet.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups ice
  • ¾ cup canned apricot halves, drained and semifrozen
  • 3 ounces gold rum
  • 2 ounces apricot liqueur (such as Apry)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 teaspoons superfine sugar

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Cover and pulse on and off until the mixture starts to swirl evenly. Blend on high for 20 seconds, or until the drink is completely smooth.


Variations


ALMOND APRICOT DAIQUIRI Omit the apricot liqueur. Add 2 ounces almond liqueur (such as amaretto) before blending.

CHERRY APRICOT DAIQUIRI Reduce the apricot halves to ½ cup and reduce the apricot liqueur to 1 ounce. Add ½ cup semifrozen (see page 2), pitted cherries and 1 ounce cherry liqueur (such as Heering) before blending.

HERBAL APRICOT DAIQUIRI Omit the gold rum and apricot liqueur. Add 3 ounces spiced rum (such as Captain Morgan) and 2 ounces herbal liqueur (such as Chartreuse or Strega) before blending.

LEMON APRICOT DAIQUIRI Omit the apricot liqueur and lime juice. Add 2 ounces lemon liqueur (such as Limoncello) and the juice of 1 large lemon before blending.
