Pink Drink Ingredients

There are only a few items you need to make a DIY Pink Drink, but sadly, they’re probably not ones you’re likely to have on-hand. You can get all of these right at a large grocery store like Kroger or Meijer. You can also get the delivered through Amazon!

How to Make a Starbucks Pink Drink

Making a DIY Starbucks Pink Drink is EASY! It can also be customized to your likings. Prefer a more creamy drink? Add more coconut milk. Enjoy a thinner tea-based pink drink? Make sure your drink is mainly hibiscus tea!

I prefer the pink drink with more coconut milk so I would use 2 parts coconut milk and 1 part hibiscus tea with a large pinch of freeze dried strawberries. In a shaker glass (or a sealable cup like a Yeti) add ice and the above mixture. Give it a strong shake, and pour over fresh ice. Add additional freeze dried strawberries if you’d like!

Minimal Ingredients for Easy Creation

There are a ton of DIY Pink Drink copycat recipes on the internet, but they all have a grocery list of ingredients. A Pink Drink shouldn’t be difficult to make. The ingredients also shouldn’t cost $50!

Instead, I developed a recipe with just 3 ingredients. No need to heat water. No need or strange juices you won’t be able to finish before they go bad. This is what I like to think of as a ‘lazy girls Pink Drink’.

Tips for Making the Best DIY Pink Drink

  1. You can use a sweetened coconut milk or tea for some additional sweetness. Base this on your preferences! You could also add some classic or liquid sweetener, if you’d like.
  2. Give your drink a little stir of th straw before you take a sip, it easily seperates.
  3. Adding some of the freeze-dried strawberry dust to the mixing cup with result in a slightly deeper color.
  4. Shake your coconut milk container before using it, things tend to settle.
