# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes five minutes but tastes like you spent an hour perfecting it in a beachside kitchen.
  • Completely dairy-free and vegan, so you can serve it to literally anyone without second-guessing allergies.
  • The strawberry syrup creates this gorgeous gradient effect that photographs beautifully, which somehow makes it taste even better.
02 -
  • Warm or room-temperature ingredients will water this down the second you add ice, so chill everything beforehand or your beautiful pink drink becomes diluted and sad.
  • The texture changes entirely depending on how vigorously you shake—timid shaking gives you a thinner drink, aggressive shaking creates this lovely frothy layer on top that feels luxurious.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before serving—the extra cold amplifies the refreshing factor and makes the drink taste more luxurious.
  • If your coconut milk is separated (watery on top, thick on bottom), blend it smooth before using, and the drink will have better texture and consistency throughout.
