# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can find your car keys, yet tastes like a treat you waited in line for.
  • The creamy coconut milk balances the bright strawberry flavor without any dairy, making it light but satisfying.
  • You control the sweetness and can tweak it to match your mood or the ripeness of your berries.
02 -
  • If you use canned coconut milk by mistake, the drink will be way too thick and heavy, so stick with the refrigerated carton kind.
  • Shaking really does make a difference in texture, turning a flat drink into something frothy and cafe-worthy.
  • Fresh strawberries can be swapped for frozen in a pinch, but let them thaw slightly so they don't turn your drink into a slushy.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving so the drink stays colder longer.
  • If your strawberry syrup is too sweet, balance it with a tiny pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Use a clear straw so you can see the pretty layers of pink and berries as you sip.
