Connie’s notes
- Use ripe strawberries for the best natural strawberry flavor.
- Gently mash the strawberries rather than completely puréeing them. You want little pieces of fruit throughout the drink.
- Chill all your ingredients beforehand so the drink stays cold without needing too much ice.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste. Some strawberry juices are sweeter than others.
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, let the mashed strawberries sit in the juice for 5–10 minutes before adding the coconut milk.
- Use sweetened coconut milk for a creamier, more dessert-like flavor.
- Add the ice last and stir gently so the drink stays creamy and evenly mixed.
- Freeze-dried strawberries make a great topping because they add extra strawberry flavor without watering down the drink.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
