Description
Enjoy this refreshing and vibrant Starbucks Pink Drink copycat recipe, featuring a delightful blend of white cranberry strawberry juice, freeze-dried strawberries, and creamy sweetened coconut milk. Perfect for a quick, fruity, and creamy beverage at home that’s sure to brighten your day.
Ingredients
Juice Mixture
- 1 cup Ocean Spray white cranberry strawberry juice
- ½ teaspoon liquid green coffee bean extract (optional)
- ⅓ cup freeze-dried strawberries
Additional
- Ice (crushed or cubed, as preferred)
- 1 cup sweetened coconut milk (from a carton; original or vanilla flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the juice base: Pour 1 cup of Ocean Spray white cranberry strawberry juice into a large measuring cup. Add ½ teaspoon of liquid green coffee bean extract, if using, and stir well to incorporate the ingredients thoroughly.
- Infuse strawberries: Add ⅓ cup of freeze-dried strawberries to the juice mixture. Stir gently to blend, then let the mixture sit for 2 to 4 minutes to allow the freeze-dried strawberries to infuse their flavor into the liquid.
- Add ice: Fill serving glasses with your desired amount of crushed or cubed ice to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
- Combine and serve: Pour the infused juice mixture evenly over the ice in each glass. Top each glass with half a cup of sweetened coconut milk. Serve immediately, encouraging stirring to combine the coconut milk with the juice before drinking for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Liquid green coffee bean extract is optional but adds a subtle coffee flavor and potential health benefits.
- Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense strawberry flavor without diluting the drink.
- Use sweetened coconut milk from a carton for creaminess similar to the Starbucks original Pink Drink.
- Adjust ice amount based on how chilled you prefer your drink.
- Stir well before drinking to enjoy the blend of flavors.
