This pink strawberry refresher drink will surely quench your thirst. A drizzle of coconut milk right before serving makes this drink extra special.
We've been taking long walks in our neighborhood lately with refreshers in hand. The twins love buying fruit refreshers.
However, the daily habit of drinking those refreshers can surely add up. I knew it was time to give them a homemade version. I bring you my tried and true strawberry coconut pink drink refresher my family makes on repeat.
Strawberry Refresher Ingredients
- Strawberries: There's no added sugar, so make sure your strawberries are in season and sweet. If your strawberries are tasteless, your drink will be bland as well.
- Apple juice: Adds sweeten the drink.
- Lemon juice: Will give a bright tang.
- Coconut milk: Use coconut beverages rather than canned coconut milk. When mixed, the coconut milk adds a wonderful creamy consistency and a subtle pink tint.
I like to garnish these refreshers with fresh thyme to make it special.
The Process
- Step 1: Place the pint of strawberries into a high-speed blender along with the apple juice. Blend until creamy.
- Step 2: Pour the mixture over a fine mesh strainer to get rid of the strawberry seeds.
- Step 3: Transfer the strained mixture into a pitcher. Add the lemon juice.
- Step 4: Add ice to serving glasses. Pour the drink into the glass and top with coconut milk.
Optional: garnish with fresh strawberries and fresh thyme.
