For pink drink:
- 2 cups white grape juice
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons strawberry simple syrup *see recipe below
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries fresh
For strawberry simple syrup:

- 1 cup water
Instructions
For pink drink:
- In a pitcher add white grape juice, unsweetened coconut milk, and strawberry simple syrup.
- Stir to combine, taste, add more strawberry simple syrup if desire.
- To serve, pour over ice and garnish with fresh berries.
For strawberry simple syrup:
- To a medium-sized saucepot add diced strawberries, granulated sugar and water. Stir to gently combine.
- Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer and cook until the strawberries are mushy and the syrup has thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Over a fine mesh strainer, strain the simple syrup, add to an airtight container or jar and keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- The sweetness level of this drink can easily be customized to your liking. I'm using a simple syrup here, but you could replace it with zero-calorie sweetener (Splenda, Sweet N'Low, Equal, etc.) or use something more natural like honey or agave. What you use may change the flavor slightly.
- You can add freeze-dried strawberries instead of fresh ones if you like them better.
- I'm using unsweetened coconut milk, but use sweetened if you like a sweeter drink.
- Feel free to use vanilla-flavored coconut milk to add a slight vanilla flavor to your drink. It pairs lovely with the juice.
- Instead of white grape juice, you could use white cranberry juice.
