We saved the top spot for the classic (beyond the actual classic daiquiri).

Frequently Asked Questions About Frozen Daiquiris
While you’re blending frozen daiquiris, you might find yourself wondering about the composition of the drink and how it fits with chilled cocktail drinks. We took a dive into some frequently asked questions about frozen daiquiris and were pleasantly surprised to find a variety of questions. Enjoy the answers while you sit back and sip on a frozen daiquiri of your choice.
Is a Margarita or Daiquiri Sweeter?
Whether a margarita or a daiquiri is sweeter is mainly dependent on the flavor. Margaritas typically have a bit more of a sour flavor, with the kick of the types of tequila being the main driver behind the flavor. However, a watermelon margarita recipe is exceptionally sweet. Daiquiris, however, are almost always a little bit sweet due to the robust flavor of rum.
What Is the Difference Between a Daiquiri and a Mojito?
The main difference between a daiquiri and a mojito is that a daiquiri has lemon juice, sugar, and crushed ice in addition to rum. On the other side, a mojito is rum alongside fizzy water, mint, and ice cubes. You could craft a mix between the two with a mint daiquiri.
What Is In Bacardi Rum?
Bacardi rum is made of molasses from sugarcane, yeast, and water. The Bacardi process involves fermentation, distillation, aging, filtering, and blending. The craftsmanship involved in each step of that process is what sets Bacardi up as the notable rum that it is. Bacardi has over half a million barrels of rum waiting to be blended while they age to perfection.
What Country Is the Best Rum From?
The answer to which country produces the best rum is truly a matter of personal preference. It can depend on your flavor preferences, your drink choices, or even brand loyalty. Some common choices for the best country for rum are Barbados, Cuba, and Jamaica.
What Is the Best Flavor Daiquiri?
The best flavor of a daiquiri is another matter of opinion. Some folks lean towards the classic mix or the Hemingway twist. For others, a watermelon mix hits the spot just right. For mixologists, mixing up new flavors can be the trick to finding the best option–at least for that night of mixing drinks.
