Description

This Aldi DIY Pink Drink Recipe is a refreshing and vibrant beverage inspired by popular cafe-style pink drinks. Made with unsweetened coconut milk, strawberry juice, brewed green tea, and naturally sweetened with honey, this drink is both delicious and simple to prepare. Optional freeze-dried and fresh strawberries add an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal. For a creamy twist, add a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream to create an indulgent ice cream float.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink:

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened strawberry juice (or strawberry-flavored syrup/concentrate)
  • 1/2 cup brewed green tea, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup sliced strawberries (optional, for garnish)

For the Ice Cream Float (Optional):

  • 1-2 scoops vanilla ice cream


Instructions

  1. Brew and Cool Green Tea: Brew 1/2 cup of green tea according to package instructions and allow it to cool completely before using to avoid diluting or melting the ice too quickly.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing glass or shaker, add 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk, 1/2 cup of unsweetened strawberry juice, and the cooled green tea. Stir or shake gently to combine.
  3. Add Sweetener: Add 1 tablespoon of honey or your preferred sweetener to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until the honey or sweetener is completely dissolved and the drink is evenly sweetened.
  4. Add Ice: Incorporate 1/2 cup of ice cubes into the drink to chill it down, making it refreshing and ready to serve.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, add 1/4 cup of freeze-dried strawberries and 1/4 cup of fresh sliced strawberries on top for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately.
  6. Add Ice Cream Float (Optional): For a creamier dessert-like drink, add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the drink. Allow it to gently melt and enjoy as a delightful ice cream float twist.
  7. Enjoy Your Pink Drink: Stir lightly to combine flavors if desired and savor this refreshing, fruity drink anytime you crave a sweet, healthy beverage.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened coconut milk and strawberry juice to control sugar levels.
  • Adjust the sweetness with honey or your preferred sweetener according to taste.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries add texture and concentrated flavor but are optional.
  • For a dairy-free version, skip the ice cream float or use a dairy-free vanilla ice cream alternative.
  • This drink is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the vibrant flavors and texture.
