Berry Base
- 1 packet açai berry puree

- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk (chilled)
- 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup (or sweetener of choice, adjust to taste)
Others
- Ice cubes (as needed, to fill a tall glass)
- Freeze-dried or fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh mint sprig, for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the berry base: Blend the açai berry packet with a small amount of water or juice until smooth and well combined to create the berry mixture.
- Add freeze-dried strawberries: Incorporate freeze-dried strawberries into the berry base and blend again to infuse additional berry flavor and sweetness.
- Mix in coconut milk and sweetener: Add chilled coconut milk and simple syrup (or your preferred sweetener) to the berry blend, mixing thoroughly for an even creamy texture.
- Combine with ice: Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes and pour the berry-coconut mixture over the ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing.

- Chill or slightly freeze coconut milk to keep the drink cooler longer without dilution.
- Do not skip ice, as it enhances the drink’s refreshing texture.
- Add sweetener gradually to achieve your preferred balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Stir the drink before serving to ensure consistent flavor throughout.
- Customize by swapping coconut milk with almond, oat, or soy milk if desired.
- Try adding fresh raspberries or blueberries for an extra berry boost.
- For a sparkling version, replace still water or juice with sparkling water.
