Pink Drink Recipe Notes

  • Tea: I used Tazo brand ready to drink hibiscus tea for this mocktail recipe. Instead of ready to drink tea, you can also steep your own. Combine 1 tea bag and ½ cup of very hot water and set it aside to steep for 15 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.
  • Grape Juice: White grape juice adds welcome sweetness and fruit flavor to this drink. White cranberry juice is also a delicious choice!
  • Coconut Milk: Before adding, stir the coconut milk really well. I used full-fat unsweetened coconut milk in this recipe.
  • Strawberries: While optional, fresh strawberries are a beautiful garnish!

Can I use freeze dried strawberries for this Pink Drink?

For best taste and texture, fresh strawberries are best in this drink.

What kind of grape juice should I use?

Use your favorite kind of white grape juice for this Pink Drink recipe.

What can I use instead of coconut milk?

For a truly copycat Starbucks Pink Drink, coconut is a must. It adds a wonderful creaminess and unique flavor. Instead of coconut milk, use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk.

What brand of hibiscus tea should I use?

I recommend the ready to drink Tazo brand hibiscus tea.

Can I double this Pink Drink recipe?

Absolutely! Simply double the ingredients, follow the recipe steps as written, and divide it into 2 glasses.

Easy to make and even easier to sip, you’ll love this homemade Pink Drink!
