Blackberry Jam Daiquiri Recipe: Sweet & Tangy Cocktail Guide

Blackberry Jam Daiquiri

If you don’t have fresh blackberries on hand, you can still enjoy a smooth, chilled, and fruity daiquiri using a couple of tablespoons of blackberry jam. The jam adds concentrated berry flavor and sweetness so you don’t need to source fresh fruit.

This frozen daiquiri is a blender cocktail designed with pantry-friendly ingredients. Light rum keeps the profile bright and clean, lime juice provides the necessary tang, and blackberry jam delivers a bold berry note and body. The result is a thick, icy cocktail that’s simple to scale up for a small gathering.

Adjust the drink to suit your taste: add more jam for sweetness, increase the lime juice for greater tartness, or swap lemon-lime soda for sparkling water to reduce sweetness and calories. Raspberry jam works well as a substitute, and strawberry jam will yield a sweeter, more dessert-like drink.

For an extra-smooth texture, let the ice sit at room temperature for 3–4 minutes before blending so the blender can process it more easily.

Rum makes an excellent base for many mixed and tropical-style cocktails. If you enjoy berry-forward drinks, consider trying other recipes that showcase jam or fruit syrups.

Berry cocktails to try include a raspberry margarita for a vibrant, fruity alternative. You can also experiment with homemade simple syrups—cherry or blueberry syrups work well in place of simple syrup or sour mix.

Another refreshing option is a frozen mojito, which uses rum and citrus for a bright, minty frozen cocktail that’s perfect for warm weather.
