A creamy, refreshing homemade version of Starbucks’ iconic Pink Drink, featuring freeze-dried strawberries and coconut milk for a luscious texture and bright strawberry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white grape juice (100% juice)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup or 150 grams)
  • Optional: sweetener to taste (agave syrup or simple syrup)

Instructions

  1. Add ½ cup of freeze-dried strawberries to your blender or food processor. Blitz until they turn into a fine powder or small crumbs (about 30 seconds).
  2. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened canned coconut milk and 1 cup (240 ml) of white grape juice. Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup. Blend everything on medium speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and pale pink.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding 1 teaspoon of agave syrup or simple syrup, then blend again for 10 seconds.
  4. Fill a large glass or shaker bottle with about 1 cup (150 grams) of ice cubes.
  5. Pour the blended pink drink over the ice. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
  6. Garnish with freeze-dried strawberry slices or a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
  7. Enjoy immediately, stirring or shaking gently if the drink settles.

Notes

Use canned full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Shake the coconut milk can well before measuring. Freeze-dried strawberries provide concentrated flavor and prevent watering down the drink. Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid over-sweetening. Store leftover base (without ice) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing the mixture.
