How to make Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink Dupe

First, grab your clean mason jars and add ice. I usually add ice about halfway up the cup. This will depend on your size cup.

Then, measure and add your strawberry-cranberry juice over your ice.

Next, measure and add your coconut milk to your glass.

Finally, you can add your freeze dried strawberries (or leave them out), and while using your straw, stir the juice and coconot mixture together until fully incorporated. Enjoy!

Tips

You can use sweetened coconut milk or unsweetened coconut milk. I personally love the sweetened coconut milk for this recipe but we used unsweetened for this instead.
If you like your drink sweeter, use a little less coconut milk that is shown in this recipe.
Change up the juice used and use a different flavor of juice!

FAQs

This drink recipe tastes best enjoyed immediately but it can be made ahead of time by omitting the ice and adding the juice and coconut milk to a mason jar with a lid. When it comes time to drink, just gently shake the ingredients together and then add ice and enjoy.

Yes! I love pineapple cranberry juice as another option. You could even take two different flavored juices and mix them together, making your very own custom flavored refreshing drink!

Nope! You can leave them out completely or replace them with fresh strawberries.
