About Strawberry dacquiri
A Strawberry Daiquiri is a well-loved cocktail originating from Cuba, traditionally made with fresh strawberries, white rum, lime juice, and a touch of sugar or simple syrup, often blended with ice for a refreshing frozen treat. While primarily considered a sweet indulgence, its nutritional profile depends largely on its ingredients. Fresh strawberries provide vitamins like C and K, along with dietary fiber and antioxidants. However, the cocktail is generally high in sugar and calories due to added sweeteners and alcohol, contributing little protein or fat. Moderation is key as alcohol content can outweigh nutritional benefits.
Health Benefits
- Rich in vitamin C from strawberries, supporting immune health and skin integrity (approximately 89 mg of vitamin C per 100g of fresh strawberries).
- Provides manganese, an essential mineral found in strawberries that supports bone health and antioxidant function (approximately 0.4 mg per 100g).
- Contains dietary fiber from strawberries, promoting digestive health and aiding in maintaining stable blood sugar levels (approximately 2g per 100g).
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries and prepare servings immediately. If storing, cover and refrigerate cut strawberries or pre-made puree for up to 1-2 days. Alcohol-based drinks should not be stored long-term due to deterioration in quality.
