Ingredients in Pink Drink
- Freeze Zestless Strawberries – You can moreover use fresh strawberries if you prefer.
- Sweetened Coconut Milk – This is what makes this drink into a pink drink.
- Strawberry Acai Base – The ingredients you use to create the wiring are fresh strawberries, sugar, white grape juice, acai powder, green coffee stone pericope powder, passion fruit powder and lemon juice. (This is the same wiring used to make the Strawberry Acai Refresher, so when you make a batch you can make both drinks.)
- Ice – I like to use pebble ice when I have it.
How to Make a Pink Drink
To make the base: in a sauce pan, combine white grape juice, sugar, and hulled and sliced strawberries. Heat the syrup and simmer for 10 minutes, and then set whispered and let the strawberry savor steep into the syrup for 10 increasingly minutes.
Strain the syrup, removing the strawberry pieces from the syrup. Return the syrup to the sauce pan.
Return the syrup to low heat and add the acai powder, untried coffee extract, passion fruit powder, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until fully blended. Decant the syrup into a mason jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Next, it’s time to mix your pink drink. In a shaker, combine a half cup of base, a half cup of coconut milk and some freeze zestless strawberries with ice. Shake and pour into a cup filled with ice. Add a few increasingly freeze zestless strawberries to the top of the drink as garnish.
Tips for Making
- Make a double (or plane triple batch) of wiring so you can make Pink Drinks and Strawberry Acai refreshers all week long. The wiring lasts up to two weeks in the fridge.
- If you want to create a caffeine-free drink, simply omit the untried coffee pericope from your recipe.
- Sweetened coconut milk is so good in this recipe, but finger self-ruling to substitute any milk you have on hand. If using unsweetened milk you may want to add a little bit of simple syrup or uneaten wiring to your drink.
