Even though it falls near the bottom of our rankings of the top Mai-Kai cocktails, there’s nothing really wrong with the Strawberry Daiquiri. Like the Banana Daiquiri<\/A>, it’s a superb version of an often-maligned “slushy drink.”<\/p>\n

I’ll admit, this was the last drink I sampled on my initial journey through the entire Mai-Kai menu. The Strawberry Daiquiri’s reputation as a girly drink definitely preceded it. But as Larry David says when confronted with something seemingly unpleasant: “It’s not that bad.”<\/p>\n

True, it’s the antithesis of all the high-octane concoctions the Fort Lauderdale institution is known for, just one step above the non-alcoholic selections. But there’s a place for milder drinks, especially when they’re authentically prepared with fresh fruit this expertly. <\/p>\n

\nSTRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh fruit and rum are blended to create this frosty favorite.<\/p>\n

Okole Maluna Society review and rating<\/B><\/p>\n

Size:<\/B> Medium<\/p>\n

Potency:<\/B> Mild<\/p>\n

Flavor profile:<\/B> Strawberry, sugar syrup, a slight hint of rum.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/B> This could easily be on the dessert drink menu. Very smooth, sweet and fruity.<\/p>\n

Rating:<\/B> 2 1\/2 out of 5 stars (see how it ranks)<\/a><\/p>\n

Ancestry:<\/B> Constante Ribailagua, the bartender at El Floridita bar in Havana during the 1920s, created a number of variations on the classic daiquiri, including the first frozen one. There’s no evidence, however, that he invented the strawberry version. Both the Floridita Daiquiri<\/A> and the Strawberry Daiquiri were added to the menu some time after The Mai-Kai’s 1956 opening as the popularity of frozen drinks grew. Some of The Mai-Kai’s early fame came by way of another frozen drink, the acclaimed Derby Daiquiri<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tribute to The Mai-Kai’s Strawberry Daiquiri<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Strawberry<\/a>
Strawberry Daiquiri by The Atomic Grog, November 2011. (Photo by Hurricane Hayward)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

* 1\/2 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
\n* 1\/2 ounce rich sugar syrup
\n    (2 parts sugar to 1 part water, heated and cooled)
\n* 1 1\/2 ounces white Puerto Rican or Virgin Islands rum
\n* 1\/2 cup of fresh, sliced strawberries
\n* 4 ounces (1\/2 cup) crushed ice<\/p>\n

Put everything into a blender. Blend at high speed for at least 30 seconds, until smooth. Pour unstrained into a cocktail glass.<\/p>\n

Notes and tips for home mixologists<\/B><\/p>\n

* No big surprises here. This tribute is based on the previously published Banana Daiquiri<\/A> recipe, with a few slight tweaks. White rum replaces gold rum, and an extra-strength sugar syrup is used to give the drink more sweetness.<\/p>\n

Like the Banana Daiquiri, we recommend the strawberry version as an after-dinner or dessert drink. Or perhaps as a cool accompaniment to one of The Mai-Kai’s spicy dinner entrees.<\/p>\n

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/theatomicgrog.com\",\"http:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/atomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/theatomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/theatomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/youtube.com\\\/@atomicgrog\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.slammie.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/hurricanehayward\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Mai-Kai cocktail review: This daiquiri is the real deal, thank you berry much - The Atomic Grog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2011\/11\/08\/mai-kai-cocktail-review-this-daiquiri-is-the-real-deal-thank-you-berry-much\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Mai-Kai cocktail review: This daiquiri is the real deal, thank you berry much - The Atomic Grog","og_description":"See below: Our Strawberry Daiquiri review | Tribute recipe Related: No monkeying around, this is one fine Banana Daiquiri | Mai-Kai cocktail guide Even though it falls near the bottom of our rankings of the top Mai-Kai cocktails, there’s nothing really wrong with the Strawberry Daiquiri.

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theatomicgrog.com","http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theatomicgrog\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/","https:\/\/x.com\/theatomicgrog","https:\/\/youtube.com\/@atomicgrog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/author\/hurricanehayward\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1xHjT-vh","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
