To make this blender drink, the frozen daquiri is added with a generous amount of pulverized ice to make it a fitting cooler for the summer heat. You combine 3/4 cup of rum, 1/4 cup of lime juice, 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey, and a cup of ice in a blender. You can also add in a cup of strawberries or bananas into the mix. Give the blender a quick run to mix in the ingredients. The resulting mixture would be the frozen daquiri good enough for four people. You can then top it off with a touch of whip cream along with a fresh strawberry for each glass.

A frozen margarita is another popular alcoholic drink that you can make with your dependable blender. With many variations to choose from, margaritas are essentially made from a cocktail with tequila as its main ingredient. For a frozen margarita, you need to mix in 1/4 cup of lime juice, freshly squeezed with 3/4 cup of tequila. You can then add in 1/4 cup of orange liqueur with 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar for sweetening, depending on your preference for how sweet you want the drink to be.

To make it a cooling drink for the summer, you can add in 1 1/2 cup of crushed ice into the blender mixture and then let it run to blend them up. The frozen margarita is best served in salted glasses. Rub a wedge of lime around the rim of the serving glass and dip them into a dish of kosher salt. If you prefer your frozen margarita sweet, then you can use granulated sugar in place of the kosher salt.
