Pink Drink

What started as a secret menu item and then exploded into fame, the Pink Drink is a combination of a strawberry acai base with coconut milk instead of water. She was once ‘Strawberry Acai Refresher,’ now she is reborn as Pink Drink. So, maybe you’ve tried it, maybe you’ve wanted to, either way, this drink has been on all of our minds at some point. It has a delicious sweetness with a wonderful smooch of strawberry. It’s refreshing, it’s pretty, it’s pink. Now you can make it whenever you want! All you need are a few ingredients and a blender, and you’ve got yourself a homemade Pink Drink.

Ingredients in a Starbucks Pink Drink

Fresh Strawberries – Either 6 large fresh strawberries or 8 small strawberries. Sugar Ocean Spray White Cran-Strawberry Juice Coconut Milk – in the refrigerated section, not the stuff in the can Freeze Dried Strawberries Ice

Method

This drink is pretty easy to make. Combine cranberry-strawberry juice, a handful of fresh strawberries, and 3 tablespoons of sugar in your blender and mix for 60 seconds. Once mixed, fill a cup with ice cubes and pour your strawberry concoction over it. After this, you can add the fresh and creamy coconut milk, you’ll find this in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, it isn’t the coconut cream that you typically find in a can. Stir well and then add freeze-dried sliced strawberries to garnish. Look at you, you’re a little barista!

Variations

Another juice I’ve heard is similar to the Starbucks strawberry acai base is white grape juice. It’s worth a try! If you want to make your beverage lower in sugar, here are some options:
