Strawberry Acai Base Instructions
- Combine the white grape juice, fresh strawberries, and freeze-dried strawberries in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. The strawberries should start getting soft and losing their color.
- Remove from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the strawberries.
- Return the concentrate to the saucepan and turn the heat on to low.
- Add the green coffee extract, acai extract powder, and passion fruit extract powder.
- Whisk until the powders have dissolved as much as possible.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Transfer to a mason jar and allow to cool completely before making a drink.
Pink Drink Ingredients
- Fill a highball glass with crushed ice and a handful of freeze-dried strawberries. Set aside.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Strawberry Acai Base and coconut milk.
- Shake vigorously until the surface of the shaker has become cold and is sweating.
- Pour into the prepared highball glass and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to boil white grape juice, fresh strawberries, and freeze-dried strawberries.
- Fresh strawberries won't work and will result in a pulpy texture.
- I like grape juice from Welches.
