Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Return the strained liquid to the saucepan and whisk in ¼ cup of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of acai powder, 2 tablespoons of passionfruit powder, and 1 teaspoon of citric acid until dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat, transfer to a jar, and let cool for 15-20 minutes.
  5. In a cocktail shaker, mix ½ cup of the base with ½ cup of sweetened coconut milk. Shake well until blended.
  6. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the Pink Drink over the ice, garnishing with strawberry slices.
  7. Enjoy your homemade Pink Drink!
