Servings: 1 drink
Calories: 117kcal
Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
Ingredients
Strawberry Acai Refresher Base:
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup white grape juice
- 1 cup sliced/hulled, fresh strawberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ tsp acai powder
- ½ teaspoon passionfruit powder
- ½ teaspoon citric acid
Pink Drink:
- ½ cup Strawberry Acai Refresher Base
- ½ cup sweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoon sliced/hulled, fresh strawberries
- ice
Instructions
- Add the water, grape juice, 1 cup strawberries, and sugar to a medium saucepan and stir. Heat to a simmer, then simmer for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, strain out the strawberries, squeezing them to get as much liquid from them as possible. Discard the strawberries and pour the liquid back into the saucepan.
- Heat the strawberry liquid over low heat and whisk in the lemon juice, acai powder, passionfruit powder, and citric acid. Whisk until everything is dissolved (acai powder will leave specks, it doesn't fully dissolve).
- Remove from heat, transfer to a large jar, and allow to cool completely before using.
- Make the Pink Drink: Add ½ cup Strawberry Acai Refresher base and ½ cup sweetened coconut milk to a cocktail shaker or a large jar with a lid. Shake a few times until well combined.
- Add ice to a tall glass, then pour the pink drink over the ice. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and drink up!
Notes
This makes 2 ½ cups of base, enough for 5 drinks. Store any leftover refresher base in the fridge for up to 1 week.
