Ingredients

1/2 cup Strawberry Acai base (recipe below)

1/2 cup sweetened coconut milk (the kind in a carton)

Ice

Freeze-dried strawberries

1/3 cup Vanilla Cold Foam (recipe below)

2 1/4 cups white grape juice

1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries

1/2 tsp acai powder

1/2 tsp green coffee extract powder

1/4 tsp passionfruit powder

1 tsp lemon juice

3/4 cup 2% milk

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 Tbsp vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade with recipe linked)

Directions

Add about ½ cup strawberry acai base and ½ cup sweetened coconut milk to an ice-filled shaker. Shake well to combine.

Pour mixture into an ice-filled glass with freeze-dried strawberries.

Feel free to make alterations based on your sweetness preferences. Add more of the base for a sweeter drink and less for a less sweet drink.

Top the Pink Drink with about 1/3 cup of Vanilla Cold Foam.

Strawberry Acai Base

Combine white grape juice and sliced strawberries in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

Lower to a simmer and let mixture simmer for 10 minutes, until strawberries are breaking down.

Remove from heat and strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl. Press down on strawberries with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard strawberries.

Pour mixture back into saucepan and return to low heat. Stir in acai powder, green coffee extract powder, and passionfruit powder until powders have dissolved as much as possible (acai powder is tough to fully dissolve, so there will be some granules remaining).

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Return to heatproof bowl or pour into large mason jar and put in fridge to cool completely.

Vanilla Cold Foam

Mix milk, cream, and vanilla syrup in a mason jar and shake to combine. Alternatively, you can stir all ingredients together in a bowl. This is your Vanilla Sweet Cream. If you're not using right away, keep in an airtight container in the fridge.

Turn mixture into cold foam right before using. You can either use an electric frother, hand mixer, or blender. Just add the sweet cream and froth, mix, or blend until the mixture turns into a foam. Alternatively, you can shake the mixture in a mason jar until it's frothy.
