What is in a Starbucks Pink Drink?
The Pink Drink Recipe at Starbucks have a lot of ingredients. They include tazo iced passion fruit green tea bag, white grape juice, coconut milk, and strawberries. We have simplified the Pink Drink Recipe with these easy 5 ingredients.
This copycat recipe has a juice base mixed with coconut milk, frozen strawberries and sugar. It is served over ice for a delicious, creamy and refreshing drink.
Does Starbucks Pink Drink have Caffeine?
If you get the Pink Drink at Starbucks it is lightly caffeinated because of the green coffee extract.
This copycat recipe does not have caffeine in it as we make with a juice base. We like this copycat version as I can safely serve it to all ages because there is no caffeine.
Ingredients:
- Berry Juice (We used Juicey Juice Berry)

- Granulated Sugar
- Ice (for serving)
How to Make Starbucks Pink Drink Recipe at Home:

- Step 4 – Then pour the drink from the blender evenly into the cups. Serve immediately while cold and enjoy!
Starbucks Pink Drink Tips:
- Strawberries – We love using frozen strawberries instead of fresh for this recipe. As when they defrost they are softer and perfect for the drinks. You can even try freeze dried strawberries if you prefer.
- Juice Option – Strawberry Kiwi Juice would work for this recipe if you are unable to find a Berry Juice option. You can also substitute with white grape juice.
- Blend Ingredients – We recommend using a Vitamix blender to mix the ingredients. It is high powered and combines the ingredients perfectly.
- Simple Syrup – For added flavor, feel free to add in some strawberry simple syrup.
- Passion Tea – Instead of juice you can make Passion Tea and combine with the other flavors.
- Water – We blend our drink with cold water instead of hot water.
- Sugar – We used white sugar in this recipe, but you can also substitute for honey or other sugar substitute.
Can I Make this Drink with other types of Milk?
Yes, you can use other types of milk to make this Pink Drink. These are some of our other recommendations:
- Soy Milk
- Regular Milk
- Nut Milk
Perfect Pool Side Drink:
Serve this delicious drink pool side this summer. It is light and refreshing and always a crowd favorite. We recommend making a large pitcher of this delicious drink and cover.
Then when you are ready to serve, place the strawberries in a cup with ice. Then pour this easy pink drink copycat recipe.
What type of Glass to Serve this Pink Drink?
Really any glass will work for this recipe, but we like to serve in a tall clear glass. This way you can see the color and the strawberries in it. When I am serving to friends and family, I like to serve with fun straws.
Options Topping Ideas:
If you love to add toppings to your drinks, these are some of my suggestions:
- Cool Whip
- Whipped Topping
- Slice Strawberries
How to Store Leftovers:
This is best served fresh. You can refrigerate for up to 2 days. Make sure to thoroughly stir any leftovers as the ingredients may separate as they are stored.
Can I Make this Drink ahead of time?
This Pink Drink is best served immediately after preparing, so we do not recommend preparing ahead of time.
The Best Pink Drink Recipe:
The reason we love making copycat recipes is because it saves me time and money. For a special treat when we are out running errands, I always stop for a coffee at Starbucks. My daughter started getting this Pink Drink and so naturally, I had to try and make it at home.
I was able recreate her favorite drink for a fraction of the cost. Now anytime she has friends over, we make it. I have actually started loving this drink as well. It is light, refreshing, creamy and delicious.
Now we when are out running errands, we bring our own copycat Starbucks drinks from home.
