Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups Oceanspray white cran-strawberry juice
- 1 cup sweetened vanilla coconut milk
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, stemmed and sliced
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons simple syrup (optional)
Ice:
- 2 cups small ice cubes
Instructions
- Crush fresh strawberries in a large pitcher using a muddler or the back of a spoon, releasing their vibrant crimson juices and fragrant essence.
- Pour white cranberry-strawberry juice, sweetened vanilla coconut milk, and simple syrup into the pitcher, whisking thoroughly until ingredients harmonize into a smooth, blush-colored liquid.
- Fill serving glasses with small, crystalline ice cubes, creating a frosty foundation for the refreshing beverage.
- Carefully cascade the prepared mixture over the ice, allowing the liquid to gently settle and chill instantly.
- Embellish each glass with delicate strawberry slices, creating an elegant visual garnish that hints at the drink’s fruity profile.
Notes
- Muddle strawberries gently to release their flavor without turning them into a complete mush, maintaining a slightly chunky texture for better visual appeal.
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for the most intense and natural fruity flavor in your drink.
- Adjust sweetness by gradually adding simple syrup, tasting as you go to prevent the drink from becoming overly sugary.
- For a lighter version, swap regular coconut milk with unsweetened coconut milk and reduce simple syrup, making it more diet-friendly and lower in calories.
