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.
