Homemade Strawberry Pink Drink (Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink)
Description
This homemade Strawberry Pink Drink is a refreshing copycat-style recipe made with fresh strawberries, hibiscus tea, grape juice, and creamy coconut milk. It’s lightly floral, naturally fruity, and easy to shake up at home with adjustable sweetness for the perfect pink drink any time.
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh strawberries washed, stemmed, and sliced, plus more for garnish
- 2 cups grape juice
- 2 bags hibiscus tea
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2-3 tbsp maltitol or agave syrup optional, for added sweetness
- ice cubes as needed
- edible rose petals for garnish
Instructions
Make the hibiscus tea
- Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a kettle or small pot. Pour into a heatproof container, add the hibiscus tea bags, and steep for 10 minutes.
- Discard the tea bags. Refrigerate the tea until it reaches room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Mix and serve
- Add the sliced strawberries, grape juice, cooled hibiscus tea, coconut milk, and sweetener (if using) to a shaker. Lightly crush the strawberries first for more flavor and color.
- Add ice cubes, then shake vigorously until chilled and frothy, about 30 seconds.
- Pour into glasses. Garnish with extra strawberries and a few edible rose petals, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Chill the hibiscus tea to room temperature before mixing so the ice doesn’t melt too fast and dilute the drink.
- Lightly crushing the strawberries in the shaker boosts color and strawberry flavor without needing a blender.
- Sweetener is optional; start small and adjust after a quick taste, since grape juice sweetness can vary.
