Starbucks Pink Drink – Copycat Recipe + Enter to WIN! #InTheRaw

The product, information, and gift card have been provided by In The Raw® so that I could try the product and share my thoughts and information about Agave In The Raw®. The opinions expressed in this post are my own and do not reflect the opinions of In The Raw®.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here….why do I find myself constantly saying that?  Probably because life itself is kinda crazy right?  Actually, life would be boring if it weren’t for a little crazy thrown in!  There ya go I just justified everything to myself in a couple of sentences…

Anyway…

I live in Texas and everyone is getting ready to party because Cinco de Mayo is this Friday, May 5th!   Cinco de Mayo is actually a celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over France at the 1862 Battle of Puebla…and…It’s also an excuse for everyone to eat tacos, drink sangria or margaritas, and have a huge bowl of guacamole.  A good reason to celebrate right?

No party would be complete without some good beverages. The Raw® can liven up your fiesta with a ton of festive drinks including a traditional Mexican Horchata Cinnamon & Rick Milk Drink, an Iced Coconut Milk Strawberry Tea, or a Sparkling Rosé Sangria.

Agave In The Raw® is an organic sweetener pressed from the core of the Blue Agave plant, and its liquid form makes Agave In The Raw® a great way to sweeten beverages.  Its liquid form makes Agave In The Raw® a great alternative to maple syrup and honey and is a delicious way to top pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt and more, and also blends easily to sweeten beverages.  This organic sweetener is gluten-free and approximately 25% sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way!

  • USDA Certified Organic
  • #1 selling Agave SKU in retail grocery in the U.S.*
  • Meets “Raw Food” standard
  • 25% Sweeter than sugar

So I am sure most of you have heard of the “Pink Drink” from Starbucks.  This drink hit it big last summer and is a refreshing yummy beverage I want daily, so why not make it at home with Agave In The Raw®?

I always like to sweeten my strawberries and normally I would dump cups of sugar on them.  Not this time, for this beverage I’m going to sweeten with Agave In The Raw®.

I drizzled Agave In The Raw® over my strawberries to sweeten them, then stir.

I put my strawberries in the refrigerator overnight to “marinate” and get sweet.  After that the rest is a piece of cake!  I’ll share the recipe below!

Starbucks PINK DRINK Recipe:

DIRECTIONS:

Add two pods of the berry tea with 1/2 cup white grape juice.  Fill your glasses with ice and add the desired amount of coconut milk.  Top with strawberries.  You can make your beverage however sweet or milky you would like.  It’s delicious!
