Lime Lantern Daiquiri – A tantalizing daiquiri recipe made with fresh watermelon, lime juice and BACARDI® Mixers Strawberry Daiquiri mix.
Well summer is here and that means it’s cocktail season! I had some friends over to try out BACARDI® Mixers and man are they awesome! BACARDI® Mixers created a personalized cocktail for me based off a survey I answered for them. The result….the Lime Lantern Daiquiri! This cocktail is sure to take center stage at any party. A lime half is inverted creating a lime bowl for some BACARDI® 151 to rest in. Light it up and let the party begin!
I don’t know how they figured this all out {very scientifically, I’m sure} but those folks at BACARDI® Mixers nailed it with this cocktail! Made with lots of fresh watermelon, lime juice, and BACARDI® Mixers Strawberry Daiquiri Mix – this cocktail is bursting with fresh, fruity flavor. My friends were pretty impressed as well. I heard comments like:
“This is dangerously good!”
“Just give me a straw and a pitcher!”
“What a perfect drink! Slightly sweet and tons of flavor!”
Now you can’t have a party without some yummy food and party favors right? BACARDI® Mixers sent me all kinds of fun stuff for my guests: visors, muddlers, recipe booklets and even coupons so they can recreate this cocktail at home. I served up a balsamic watermelon salad, fresh fruit, cookies, brownies, and veggie crescent bites. Everything was delish! I absolutely loved how easy it was to create unique and creative cocktails for my friends using BACARDI® Mixers. The flavors are so fresh and really made my job as a hostess so much easier.
We had an awesome party and tried out some other cocktail recipes – so yummy and SO easy with the BACARDI® Mixers. Just put the ingredients in the blenders and zip! Drink up! I love that BACARDI® Mixers are made with real fruit juice – they sure taste fresher than the shelf-stable mixers! I’ve got my freezer stocked with all the yjmmy flavors so I can whip up amazing cocktails whenever the mood strikes or friends stop by.

Lime Lantern Daiquiri
Ingredients
- 10 oz Frozen BACARDI® Mixers Strawberry Daiquiri Mix 1 can
- 1 cup BACARDI® Gold
- 1 1/2 cups cubed watermelon
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cups ice
- 3 limes for garnishes
- 6 tsp BACARDI® 151
Instructions
- Cut 3 limes in half. Use a citrus press to juice the limes. Reserve the lime shells and juice.
- Add all ingredients to a blender EXCEPT for the garnishes and blend on high for approximately 20 seconds or until smooth.
- Pour into six cocktail or martini glasses.
- Take the lime shells and push them inside out to create a "lime bowl".
- Float each shell in the center of the glass being careful to keep the lime above the cocktail.
- Add 1 tsp of BACARDI® 151 to the "lime bowl" and use a long-stemmed lighter to ignite the rum.
- Dimming the lights will help with the effect.

Health & medication restrictions wont allow the alcohol so I was wondering if this drink could taste good without the alcohol?
