What is this cocktail?

This is a sweet-and-sour mixed drink built around amaretto, lime, coconut syrup, passion fruit juice and grenadine. Although the description mentions a frozen strawberry daiquiri, the listed ingredients and method make a different cocktail, with no strawberry or rum.

The recipe gives no specific regional origin, so it is best understood as an international-style cocktail. Its combination of liqueur, fruit juice and flavoured syrups makes for a bold, dessert-like drink.

Nutrition and macros by portion

The nutrition label shows one serving as written: 540 calories, 0g protein, 75g carbs, 0g fat.

Most of the carbohydrates and sugars come from the coconut syrup, grenadine, juices and amaretto; the amaretto also supplies most of the alcohol-related energy. To balance the occasion, serve it with a small savoury snack rather than another sweet accompaniment.

The balance of the ingredients

Citrus: the generous amount of lime juice provides the main sour note and helps offset the sweet syrups and liqueur.

Sweetness: coconut syrup and grenadine contribute much of the drink’s sweetness, while amaretto brings almond-like flavour and its own sweetness.

Fruit: a small measure of passion fruit juice adds a tangy, aromatic note without changing the drink into a strawberry daiquiri.

Shake it well

Ice: use plenty of ice and shake vigorously, as the method directs. Shaking chills the mixture and slightly dilutes it, bringing the ingredients together.

Straining: pour the shaken drink through a strainer into a pre-chilled glass. The instructions do not specify crushed ice in the serving glass.

Using a frozen drink machine

This method is for a single shaken cocktail, not a frozen-drink-machine recipe. It does not provide machine settings, a batch size, or instructions for scaling to 10 litres.

For a machine batch, you would need a separately tested formula and guidance from the machine manufacturer. Do not assume that multiplying these quantities will give the right freezing texture.

Serving and garnish

Chill the glass before straining so the drink stays cool for longer. Add the two dashes of bitters and fresh zest as directed, then serve immediately.

Because the drink is sweet and flavourful, it can work well alongside salty snacks or small savoury bites. Keep any accompaniment simple so it does not compete with the cocktail.

Timing and texture

The stated preparation time is 3 minutes, so have the glass, shaker and ingredients ready before you start. Shake only until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, then strain and serve without delay.

Expect a chilled, shaken drink rather than a thick slush. The recipe does not give a target texture or instructions for blending.

Recipe notes & tips

• Chill the serving glass before you begin.
• Measure each liquid carefully to keep the sweet and sour flavours in balance.
• Use plenty of ice in the shaker, as the method specifies.
• Shake vigorously so the ingredients are thoroughly combined and chilled.
• Strain and serve promptly rather than letting the drink stand.
• Add the bitters and fresh zest just before serving.

Variations

• More lime: Increase the lime juice slightly for a sharper, less sweet-tasting drink.
• Less coconut: Reduce the coconut syrup for a subtler coconut flavour.
• Fresh passion fruit: Use strained fresh passion fruit juice in place of bottled juice.
• Strawberry version: Add strawberry only as part of a separately adjusted recipe; it is not included in this one.
• Machine batch: Find a tested frozen-machine formula rather than scaling this shaken single-serving method.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Assuming it is a daiquiri: the listed recipe uses amaretto, not rum, and contains no strawberries.
• Skipping the ice: shake with plenty of ice to chill and bring the drink together.
• Serving in a warm glass: pre-chill the glass as directed.
• Leaving it to stand: serve immediately after straining so it remains cold.
• Scaling straight to 10 litres: this recipe gives no machine-batch ratios or freezing instructions; use a formula designed for the machine.

How to store

This drink is intended to be served immediately and is not suited to storage after shaking. Keep the ingredients separate and follow their package storage instructions until you are ready to mix the drink.
