If you love Starbucks’ famous Pink Drink, you’re in for a treat!
This homemade version is just as refreshing, creamy, and fruity—but way cheaper and made with simple ingredients.
It’s the perfect drink for warm days, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a fun treat for kids.
Plus, you can customize the sweetness and even make a big batch for parties!
Let’s make this delicious, pretty-in-pink drink at home.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Tazo Passion Tea (brewed and chilled)
- ½ cup white grape juice
- ½ cup coconut milk (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (or fresh)
- ½ cup ice cubes
Tools:
- Medium saucepan (for brewing tea)
- Measuring cups
- Spoon for stirring
- Large glass or mason jar
- Straw (for serving)
Pro Tips
- Chill the tea – Brew your Passion Tea ahead of time and let it cool in the fridge for the best flavor.
- Adjust sweetness – Add more or less simple syrup depending on how sweet you like your drink.
- Use fresh strawberries – If you don’t have freeze-dried ones, fresh strawberries work great too!
- Coconut milk matters – Full-fat coconut milk makes it extra creamy, but you can use light coconut milk if you prefer.
- Make it dairy-free – This drink is naturally dairy-free, but you can swap coconut milk for almond or oat milk if you like.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Brew the Passion Tea
Boil water and steep Tazo Passion Tea for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely in the fridge.
2. Add Ingredients to a Glass
Fill a large glass with ice cubes. Pour in ½ cup white grape juice and 1 tablespoon simple syrup.
3. Pour in the Passion Tea
Slowly pour the chilled Passion Tea over the ice, watching the pinkish-red liquid mix with the grape juice.
4. Add Coconut Milk
Pour ½ cup coconut milk into the glass. The white milk will swirl beautifully into the pink tea.
5. Add Strawberries & Stir
Drop in ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (or fresh slices). Stir everything together with a straw or spoon.
Substitutions & Variations
- No Passion Tea? Use hibiscus tea or berry-flavored herbal tea.
- No white grape juice? Try apple juice or cranberry juice for a different taste.
- Want it creamier? Add more coconut milk.
- Prefer it less sweet? Skip the simple syrup or use a sugar-free alternative.
Make Ahead Tips
- Brew the tea in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Pre-mix everything except ice and keep it chilled until ready to serve.
Leftovers & Storage
This drink is best fresh, but you can keep it in the fridge for a few hours. The ice will melt, so you might need to add more before serving.
