Ingredients

  • ¼ cup freeze dried strawberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cups white grape juice
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced and hulled
  • 1 teaspoon acai powder
  • ½ teaspoon green coffee extract powder
  • ½ teaspoon passion fruit powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup coconut milk

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan, combine white grape juice, sugar, and hulled and sliced strawberries. Heat the syrup and simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside and let the strawberry flavor steep into the syrup for 10 more 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, green 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.
  • In a shaker, combine some freeze dried strawberries (set aside a few to use as a topper at the end).
  • In a cup filled with ice add 1/2 cup base and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make a double (or even triple batch) of base so you can make Pink Drinks and Strawberry Acai refreshers all week long. The base lasts up to two weeks in the fridge.
  • If you want to create a caffeine-free drink, simply omit the green coffee extract from your recipe.
  • Sweetened coconut milk is so good in this recipe, but feel free to substitute any milk you have on hand. If using unsweetened milk you may want to add a little bit of simple syrup or extra base to your drink.
