Pink Coconut Iced Latte

Millie Pham

This Pink Coconut Iced Latte is a total vibe—fun, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet! It’s creamy, coconutty, and has a beautiful soft pink color that’s almost too pretty to drink (but trust me, you’ll want to!).

Whether you’re treating yourself to a midday pick-me-up or making drinks for friends, this one’s a showstopper.

Let’s make it!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 shot (about 1 oz) of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk (from a can or carton, unsweetened or sweetened)
  • 1-2 teaspoons beet juice or pink food coloring (for that pretty pink color!)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)
  • Ice cubes
  • Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Pro Tips:

  1. Use canned coconut milk for a richer, creamier latte, but carton coconut milk works if you prefer it lighter.
  2. Beet juice gives a natural pink color without affecting the flavor—just a little goes a long way!
  3. Chill your coffee and coconut milk ahead of time for an extra cold and refreshing drink.

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Tall glass or cup
  • Small whisk or spoon (for mixing)

Substitutions & Variations:

  • No beet juice? Use a drop or two of pink food coloring instead.
  • No coconut milk? Try almond milk or oat milk with a drop of coconut extract for a similar vibe.
  • Want it sweeter? Add more honey, sugar, or even a splash of vanilla syrup.

Make Ahead Tips:

You can pre-mix the pink coconut milk and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just shake it before using!
