Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white cranberry-strawberry juice
  • 0.5 cup sweetened coconut milk (refrigerated carton variety)
  • 1 tsp acai powder
  • 0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1.5 cups filtered ice

Instructions:

  1. The Flavor Foundation: Combine the white cranberry-strawberry juice and the acai powder in a 24-oz cocktail shaker. Whisk or stir vigorously for 10 seconds to ensure the powder is fully dissolved without clumping.
  2. The Chilled Emulsion: Add the ice to the shaker first, then pour in the coconut milk. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. The ice acts as an emulsifier to marry the fats in the coconut milk with the acidic juice base.
  3. The Finishing Infusion: Place the freeze-dried strawberries into a large 16-oz glass. Pour the shaken mixture over the berries. Allow 30 seconds for the berries to begin rehydrating and infusing the drink with natural pigment.
