Ingredients
Strawberry Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup strawberries
- ½ cup sugar
Pink Drink
- ½-1 ounce strawberry syrup
- 2-3 whole strawberries sliced (about ¼ cup)
- 5-6 ounces white cranberry juice
- 2-3 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 scoop acai powder optional
Instructions
Strawberry Syrup
- Wash the fruit. Hull strawberries to remove stems, then quarter them. (See Notes section below for tips on using frozen strawberries.)
- In a medium saucepan, bring water and strawberries to a boil. Lower the heat and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Pour through a fine mesh strainer to strain the hot liquid into a bowl or jar. Discard solids. While still warm, add sugar and stir into the strawberry mixture until sugar dissolves.
- Let cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Pink Drink
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add strawberry syrup, strawberry slices, white cranberry juice, coconut milk and acai powder (if using). Shake well.
- Fill an 8-ounce glass with ice and strain pink drink mixture into the prepared glass. (Don't strain it if you want the strawberry pieces in your drink.)
Notes
You can use frozen berries for this syrup, ideally already sliced ones. Use them like you would fresh ones. If they are frozen whole berries, let them thaw first, then slice them and use them in this recipe.
Dehydrated strawberries can be used to make the syrup. You can also crush them and sprinkle the powdered strawberries over your drink.
You can use other types of milk if you like. Whole milk, almond milk, soy milk or oat milk would also be just fine.
