Basil Berry Daiquiri Recipes

Steps:

• If using raspberries, blend these first to a purée then rub through a sieve to extract the pips. Put a handful of ice cubes in a powerful blender and crush. Add the berries or pulp, plus the lime and lemon juice and rum. Whizz again and pour into a chilled cocktail glass straight away. Decorate with a lime slice.

Steps:

• 1. Blend together BACARDI® Mixers Strawberry Daiquiri mix, BACARDI® Rum, raspberries, blackberries and ice for 45 to 60 seconds or until uniform.
• 2. Garnish with fresh berries.
• 3. Serves five people.

Steps:

• Place the ice cubes, strawberries, light rum, balsamic vinegar and basil leaves in the pitcher of a blender and blend until smooth and slushy. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a small basil sprig.
• Cook's Note: If your strawberries aren't very sweet, add up to 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar.

Steps:

• For the syrup: Boil 1 cup water, sugar and basil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool, about 15 minutes. Strain before using.
• Place the syrup, peaches, rum, liqueur and lime juice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lime wedges and basil sprigs.
