Ingredients

Scale

Berry Base

  • 1 packet açai berry puree
  • Water or juice, as needed for blending
  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk (chilled)
  • 12 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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add freeze-dried strawberries: Incorporate freeze-dried strawberries into the berry base and blend again to infuse additional berry flavor and sweetness.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top the drink with a few freeze-dried or fresh strawberries and optionally a sprig of fresh mint for added aroma and visual appeal. Stir gently before sipping.

Notes

  • Use high-quality açai packets for authentic flavor and vibrant color.
  • 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.
