You can use fresh strawberries if preferred, but just make sure to clean and hull them first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green tea:<\/strong> Berry-flavored green tea imparts fruity, earthy flavors into the drink that mix well with coconut and strawberries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coconut milk:<\/strong> Coconut milk is the creamiest of all the dairy-free milks, and its touch of tropical flavor pairs gorgeously with the strawberries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simple syrup:<\/strong> Prepare a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-syrup-2\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-syrup-2\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">simple syrup<\/a> with a 1:1 ratio of water to sugar. Simple syrup blends into cold drinks much more easily than granulated sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freeze-dried strawberries:<\/strong> Find freeze-dried strawberries in the snack or baking aisle of most grocery stores. Keep them whole or crush them slightly in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook down the strawberries<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2139169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Copycat-Starbucks-Pink-Drink_TOHVS25_270726_MF_04_17_2-1.jpg\" alt=\"In a saucepan cook strawberries\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a saucepan, cook the strawberries over low heat until they start to break apart, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Lavender, blackberry, chamomile, lemon, peach, mint and, of course, strawberry are excellent, caffeine-free tea flavors for our copycat Pink Drink recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use your preferred milk:<\/strong> No need to stick to coconut milk here. Try other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/non-dairy-milk-alternatives\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/non-dairy-milk-alternatives\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">nondairy milk alternatives<\/a>, or use whole, 2% or skim milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more sweetness:<\/strong> Bump up the sweetness with more strawberry puree, or mix sugar, stevia, extra simple syrup or agave nectar into the hot tea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink<\/h2>\n<p>Store any leftovers covered in the fridge. Try to fish out\u00a0the ice with a spoon so the ice doesn\u2019t water down the drink. Pink Drink can last up to a day in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make copycat Starbucks Pink Drink ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! To make this drink ahead of time, prepare the strawberry puree and steep the tea a day in advance. These can chill in the refrigerator until you\u2019re ready to drink. Hold off on mixing in the coconut milk and ice until it\u2019s time to serve. The coconut milk could begin to settle, and the ice will water down your tasty treat.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2139166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Copycat-Starbucks-Pink-Drink_TOHVP25_270726_MF_04_17_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink is ready and served in two glasses\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you double this copycat Starbucks Pink Drink recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can double, even triple, our copycat Starbucks Pink Drink recipe to feed a crowd. For easy hosting, prepare the strawberry sauce, simple syrup and green tea ahead of time, and store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge. When ready to serve, combine all three components, plus the coconut milk, in a pitcher and pour over glasses filled with ice. Don\u2019t forget to decorate with the freeze-dried strawberries!<\/p>\n<h3>Does the Starbucks Pink Drink have caffeine?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, the Pink Drink contains caffeine. The base is made from the Strawberry Acai Refresher, which has 45 milligrams of caffeine in a grande (16-ounce) size. To compare, a grande iced coffee at Starbucks has 165 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this copycat Starbucks Pink Drink recipe caffeine-free?<\/h3>\n<p>No, our copycat version is not caffeine-free but it is low in caffeine. You can control the amount of caffeine in your copycat Pink Drink by changing the type of tea used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Starbucks Pink Drink is\u00a0iconic.
