Pink Drink Strawberry Açaí Coconut

# What You'll Need:

01 - ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries

02 - ½ cup sliced fresh strawberries, plus additional for garnish

03 - 1 packet (3.5 oz) unsweetened açaí purée, thawed, or 2 tablespoons açaí powder

04 - 1 cup white grape juice or apple juice

05 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk from carton

06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons simple syrup or agave syrup, adjusted to taste

07 - 1½ cups ice cubes

01 - In a large shaker or mason jar, combine freeze-dried strawberries, thawed açaí purée or powder, white grape juice, and simple syrup.

02 - Muddle vigorously to dissolve the açaí and gently break apart the strawberries.

03 - Pour in coconut milk and add ice cubes to the shaker.

04 - Seal the shaker securely and shake with vigorous motion for 15 to 20 seconds until thoroughly mixed and frothy.

05 - Strain the mixture into two tall glasses filled with fresh ice.

06 - Top each glass with sliced fresh strawberries and serve immediately.

01 -

It tastes like summer in a glass, but takes only 10 minutes from start to sip.
Naturally vegan and dairy-free, so it works for literally everyone at the table.
The shake-and-strain method creates that café-quality froth that feels fancy without any fuss.

02 -

Don't use canned coconut milk—it's too thick and won't shake properly, leaving you with lumpy texture instead of that silky blend.
Shake vigorously for the full time; half-hearted shaking means no froth, and the froth is half the appeal of this drink.

03 -

Chill your glasses in the freezer while you prep—that extra cold surface makes the difference between a good drink and one that feels luxurious.
If you want that café-quality froth, use an immersion blender instead of shaking for 30 seconds, which creates smaller, more stable bubbles that last longer in the glass.
