Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Strawberry Açaí Refresher Base (or substitute with 1 cup white grape juice mixed with 1 teaspoon strawberry extract and 1/2 teaspoon passion tea concentrate)
1/2 cup Coconut Milk (full-fat canned or refrigerated carton)
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, sliced (for garnish and flavor infusion)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar or sweetener of choice (optional, adjust to taste)
Ice cubes
Instructions
Combine the Strawberry Açaí Refresher Base and coconut milk in a shaker or tall glass.
If using, add the optional sweetener and stir or shake until dissolved.
Fill a serving glass completely with ice cubes.
Pour the liquid mixture over the ice.
Gently stir the drink to combine the layers slightly.
Garnish the top with the sliced freeze-dried strawberries.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a closer match to the Starbucks texture, use canned, full-fat coconut milk, as it is thicker than standard refrigerated coconut milk.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of Refresher Base slightly or omit the added sugar entirely.
To achieve the signature color without the base, steep 1/2 teaspoon of hibiscus tea in 1/4 cup of hot water for 5 minutes, strain, and use this concentrate in place of some of the base liquid.
