Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what makes this Pink Drink truly shine:

• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (plus extra for garnish)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened or sweetened, based on your preference)
• 1 cup white cranberry juice
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for extra flavor and garnish)

Tools for Preparation

• Small saucepan
• Fine-mesh sieve
• Tall clear glasses (to showcase those layers!)
• Stirring spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Strawberry Syrup

Start by creating a flavorful strawberry syrup that’s the heart of this drink.

• Combine fresh strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
• Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the syrup thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids, and let it cool to room temperature.

2. Assemble the Drink

Now for the fun part—building your Pink Drink masterpiece!

• Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes.
• Add white cranberry juice to the glass, followed by the coconut milk.
• Drizzle the cooled strawberry syrup over the top. Give it a gentle stir for a swirled effect or leave it layered for a dramatic look.

3. Garnish and Serve

Let’s make this drink look as fabulous as it tastes:

• Top with freeze-dried strawberries or fresh strawberry slices.
• For an elegant touch, press thinly sliced strawberries against the glass’s interior.
• Add a sprig of mint for a pop of color and freshness.

Tips for the Perfect Pink Drink Recipe

• Switch the Milk: Try almond milk for a nutty twist or oat milk for added creaminess.
• Control Sweetness: Adjust the strawberry syrup amount to suit your taste buds.
• Boost Strawberry Flavor: Blend freeze-dried strawberries into the drink or sprinkle them as a garnish.

What to Pair with Your Pink Drink

Looking to elevate your Pink Drink experience? Pair it with:

• Light snacks like almond biscotti or coconut macaroons.
• Savory bites such as cucumber sandwiches or cheese platters.
• Breakfast favorites like yogurt parfaits or fruit salad.

Storage Instructions

While the Pink Drink Recipe is best enjoyed fresh, you can store the components separately:

• Strawberry Syrup: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
• Assembled Drink: If needed, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but note that it may separate slightly (just give it a stir before drinking).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Just thaw them before making the syrup, and they’ll work beautifully.

What’s a good substitute for white cranberry juice?

Apple juice or regular cranberry juice can work, though they may alter the drink’s flavor slightly.

Yes! Just ensure your coconut milk or other milk alternatives are certified vegan.
