If you know me you know that I’m not much of a drinker. Never really have been. I might enjoy the occasional glass of wine and my all time favorite alcoholic beverage is a Strawberry Daiquiri.
So when Daily’s emailed me and invited me to try out their ready to drink pouches and I saw they had Strawberry Daiquiri I knew I had to do this. So I eagerly signed up to try it out. My husband was all aboard too. We rarely get these kind of treats. So we were both excited to give these a try.
And please excuse me as I write this as I’m drinking and blogging tonight. We will see whether or not this is a good mix for me because I have never drank and blogged before.
What Are Daily’s Ready To Drink Pouches?
Daily’s ready to drink pouches have everything you need for mixed drinks. The alcohol is already in it. You simply have to freeze for 8 hours and then take out and massage and pour into a glass and you’re good to go. No ice. No mixes. No blender. You can even put them in a cooler and take them to go. Although, not while driving of course. Remember to always drink responsibly.
They come in many different flavors. My husband and I were able to find Strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Colada at our local liquor store. So we picked up those, but they come in many other flavors. There are some new ones for the fall even which include Hard Cider and Spiced Sangria. These two can also be enjoyed heated up if you prefer. But if you’re looking for some other frozen drinks Daily’s also has Margaritas, Peach Daiquiri, Pomegranate Acai Daiquiri, Lemonade, and a Light Strawberry Daiquiri.
Strawberry Daiquiri
I have tried other wine cooler drinks which claim to be Strawberry Daiquiris, but nothing has ever compared to what you can get in the bars. And it has never been worth it to me to make at home either. I’m just not that big of a drinker to go through the trouble. So I was anxious to see how this would compare. And I’m happy to say that it tastes just as good as what you would get in any bar. The strawberry taste is definitely there with that light hint of alcohol in it. The alcohol is not over powering to taste. Although, I do feel a little light headed after one. And mind you I have been sipping on it for an hour. See how little I drink? It just goes right to my head.
Ingredients
The Strawberry Daiquiri contains Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Wine Natural Flavors, Maltodextrin, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Sodium Polyphosphates, Strawberry Juice Concentrate, Sodium Benzoate, and Potassium Sorbate Preservatives, Gum Arabic, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Sucralose, Red 40, Blue 1. Made with wine.
Pina Colada
This was purchased for my husband. He was not impressed at all with it. He said it did not have a taste. I tried it and I thought it was gross. I could definitely taste something, mostly coconut with a very strong alcohol taste. I did not like that one at all and neither did my husband. He preferred my Strawberry Daiquiri. We will not be getting the Pina Colada again. My husband would like to try the Peach Daiquiri if we can find it or the Lemonade one though.
Ingredients
The Pina Colada contains Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Wine, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Glycerin, Food Starch – Modified, Citric Acid, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Medium Chain Triglcerieds, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Sodium Bonzoate and Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Sucralose. Made with wine.
Overall
We bought 4 pouches (2 strawberry and 2 pina coladas) for a total of $10. We gave one of the Strawberry Daiquiris to our neighbor the other night after she had a very troubling day and even she agreed that it was tasty and it hit the spot for her as well. The Pina Colada will not be purchased again, but we definitely want to try these other flavors when we can. Well, I’m sure I’ll stick with the Strawberry Daiquiri because once I find something I like I rarely try something new.
They are relatively easy to make. All you have to do is freeze them and then massage to serve. If they are really frozen you can run them under some warm water to make them easier to get out and you just pour into a glass. It was so simple. No need to drag out the blender. And really, at $2.50 each that’s very affordable. Considering a Strawberry Daiquiri at a bar or restaurant would easily cost you $10. So to get the drinks that you love at the bar at a quarter of the cost that is something that makes me smile for sure.

I have tried them…I was not happy with the Lemonade one…too acidy…is that a word? I liked the strawberry. I have not seen the cider one…that sounds good,
