This Daiquiri Ice recipe is a refreshing frozen treat that combines tangy lime juice with a sweet, rum-flavored syrup. It’s easy to prepare on the stovetop before freezing in an ice cream machine for a perfectly smooth and icy dessert that captures the classic daiquiri flavor in a non-alcoholic, kid-friendly form.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • Juice from 1 large lime
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • ½ teaspoon citric acid powder (food grade)
  • 1 drop green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients into a saucepan, ensuring they are well mixed before heating.
  2. Heat Mixture: Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches a boiling point. Continue boiling until all the sugar has completely dissolved to create a smooth syrup.
  3. Chill: Remove the saucepan from heat and place the syrup in the refrigerator. Let it chill thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Freeze in Ice Cream Machine: Pour the chilled syrup into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer’s directions to freeze it into a soft, smooth icy dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute the white sugar with a sugar substitute; however, be sure to follow the sweetener manufacturer’s instructions for timing, as this will affect consistency.
  • For a more pronounced rum flavor, add the rum extract only after the syrup has cooled completely to preserve the aroma and taste.
