Ingredients for pink drinks
There are only a few things you’ll need to make a DIY pink drink, but sadly, they probably won’t be on hand. You can get all of this right at a large grocery store like Kroger or Meijer. You can also get delivery via Amazon!
How to Make a Starbucks Pink Drink
Making a DIY Starbucks Pink Drink is SIMPLY! It can also be customized according to your needs. Do you prefer a creamier drink? Add more coconut milk. Enjoy a thinner pink tea-based beverage? Make sure your drink is mostly hibiscus tea!
I prefer the pink drink with more coconut milk, so I would use 2 parts coconut milk and 1 part hibiscus tea with a large sprinkling of freeze dried strawberries. In a shaker glass (or sealable cup like a Yeti) add ice and the above mixture. Shake vigorously and pour over fresh ice. Add extra freeze-dried strawberries if you like!
Minimal ingredients for a simple creation
There are tons of DIY pink drink copycat recipes online, but they all come with a grocery list of ingredients. A pink drink shouldn’t be difficult to make. The ingredients shouldn’t cost $50 either!
Instead, I developed a recipe with only 3 ingredients. No need to heat water. No need or weird juices that you can’t finish before they go bad. I would like to imagine that ‘lazy girl pink drink’.
Is there caffeine in Starbucks Pink Drink?
This homemade pink drink is caffeine free! Enjoy this refreshing drink any time of the day without fear of a sleepless night.
Tips for making the best DIY pink drink
- You can use a sweetened coconut milk or tea for added sweetness. Adjust this to your preference! You can also add some classic or liquid sweetener if you like.
- Stir your drink a little with the straw before taking a sip, it separates easily.
- Add some of the freeze-dried strawberry powder to the blender jar, resulting in a slightly deeper color.
- Shake your coconut milk container before using, things tend to settle.
