# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes, faster than driving to get one.
  • The coconut milk gives it a creamy, tropical richness without any dairy.
  • You control the sweetness, so it never tastes too sugary or flat.
  • It looks just as pretty as the original, maybe even better with fresh berries floating on top.
02 -
  • Don't use canned coconut milk unless you thin it way down, or the drink will taste more like a dessert than a refresher.
  • If your strawberry syrup is too thick, it won't mix well and will sink to the bottom, so add a splash of water to loosen it up before shaking.
  • Always taste before serving, some syrups are sweeter than others and you might need to add more water or a squeeze of lemon to balance it out.
03 -
  • Chill your coconut milk and water overnight so the drink stays cold longer without needing too much ice.
  • If you're making multiple servings, double or triple the recipe and store the base in a pitcher, then just pour over fresh ice and berries as needed.
  • For a thicker, smoothie-like version, blend everything together with the ice instead of shaking and pouring.
