Easy Pink Drink Idea

I still remember the first time I tasted something like this pink drink at a coffee shop after a long summer walk with a friend and I was instantly hooked by the fruity flavor and creamy texture. That same day I went home and started experimenting with ingredients I already had in the fridge and pantry and by the end of the evening I had recreated a version I loved even more.

Ever since then this easy pink drink idea has been one of my favorite things to make when I want something refreshing and beautiful with minimal effort. Whether I’m hosting brunch or just want a sweet mid-afternoon pick me up this pink drink never fails to brighten my day and it always gets compliments whenever I serve it to guests!

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always adjust it to suit your taste!
• Coconut milk – Gives the drink a smooth creamy texture with a tropical twist
• Strawberry juice or refresher – Adds fruity sweetness and vibrant color
• Ice cubes – Keeps it cool and refreshing
• Fresh sliced strawberries – For flavor and a gorgeous visual touch
• Whipped cream – Optional but adds a fun fluffy topping

Tools You’ll Need

• Tall glass – To show off the beautiful swirls and layers
• Spoon or stir stick – To mix everything gently and evenly
• Knife – For slicing strawberries into pretty rounds
• Straw – A reusable or colorful one adds extra charm
• Pitcher (optional) – If making a larger batch for guests

Instructions

Step 1:

I begin by filling a tall glass with ice cubes almost to the top because it helps the drink stay cold longer and look extra pretty.

Step 2:

Then I pour in the strawberry juice or refresher until it fills about two-thirds of the glass and I make sure it swirls around the ice nicely.

Step 3:

Next I gently pour in the coconut milk over the back of a spoon which creates a lovely layered look and I stop when the glass is nearly full.

Step 4:

I add a few strawberry slices along the sides of the glass or on top for both flavor and decoration.

Step 5:

Sometimes I like to add a swirl of whipped cream on top especially if I’m serving it to friends or making it feel more dessert-like.

Step 6:

I give it a gentle stir with a spoon or straw right before drinking so all the flavors blend perfectly.

Tips

If you want a richer taste I suggest using full-fat coconut milk or a splash of vanilla syrup. You can also freeze some sliced strawberries ahead of time to use instead of regular ice cubes for an extra burst of flavor. And if you’re making this for kids using a fun shaped ice tray makes it even more magical!

Ways to Serve
