Okay, so this is the situation. In essence, the Pink Drink Recipe is a popular relative of coconut milk and fruit juice. It has a hint of sweetness (which you can manage, don’t worry), is creamy from the coconut milk, and is fruity from the hibiscus tea and berries. It’s also a fancy-looking drink that doesn’t actually call for any special abilities. You’re halfway there if you could shake a jar, pour a glass, and add some strawberries. Additionally, you can alter it to suit your (pink) preferences—vegan, sugar-free, or very fruity!

Is it possible to use a different type of tea?
A: Of course! Hibiscus-based teas provide the traditional color and tartness, but if you want a change of pace, try berry mixes or even green tea.
Is there no dairy in this?
A: Indeed! Coconut milk is completely free of dairy. However, if you’d rather, you may use regular milk, almond milk, or even oat milk.
A: No issue. It can be omitted, or for added zing, you can use apple juice, pineapple juice, or even a little lemonade.
Is it possible to eliminate the sugar?
A: Definitely. Simply omit the juice and sweetener, or substitute sugar-free alternatives like monk fruit or stevia.
How long does it keep in the refrigerator?
A: The blended base (without strawberries or ice) can be stored for up to two days, although it is best to drink it fresh. Before serving, simply shake.
