Storage Tips

This daiquiri is best served immediately while the layers and textures are fresh If you have leftover whipped cream you can refrigerate it for a day Just rewhip gently if it deflates Leftover daiquiri base can be kept in the freezer in an airtight container and blended briefly again before serving

Ingredient Substitutions

No peach schnapps on hand Try apricot liqueur or leave it out and add a splash of orange juice If you want to skip rum use extra strawberries and a splash of lemonade for a nonalcoholic twist You can use light coconut milk instead of cream for a dairy free version which adds a tropical undertone

Serving Suggestions

Serve in tall clear glasses to show off the colorful layers A fun straw and a strawberry on the rim make every glass more festive For added flair drizzle a bit of strawberry syrup between layers or even top with crushed freeze dried strawberries
