Am I too old to have a slumber party? If not (heck, even If I am) I have the perfect libation in mind. Now here is a real plus – Overnight Daiquiris can be made as a virgin version and would taste just as good. See? Now even the kiddos can have fun with it.
This recipe is fun, fun and more fun. It is easy, versatile and can be made days ahead for any occasion.
You could even double the recipe and make half alcoholic and half non-alcoholic. Just choose your flavor and substitute the fruit – you really cannot go wrong. It is as easy as that!!
I am giving you three versions to get you started. Now it’s time to play “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a daiquiri…” to create your own favorite versions.
Enjoy!!
