Starbucks Pink Drink Recipe

This Starbucks Pink Drink Copycat is slightly sweet, light, refreshing, and dairy-free. Made with just 3 ingredients, it’s perfect for year-round sipping and so easy to make.

If I’m not grabbing a coffee, I’m likely grabbing the “Pink Drink” when I’m at Starbucks. The Starbucks strawberry acai drink took the world by storm several years ago and I’ve certainly become a fan.

But like many restaurant favorites, it turns out that it’s pretty easy to make a homemade pink drink. And I’ve figured out how to do it with just 3 ingredients, which means I get to enjoy this drink whenever I want and for way less money!

There are several different copycat versions of this drink out there, many that use the powder refreshers and/or tea bags, but I think it’s more work and more expensive, with the same results as this recipe. This Pink Drink is slightly sweet, but not at all overpowering. It’s quite light and so refreshing.

The Pink Drink is one of Starbucks’ viral drinks that’s been around since 2016. It’s part of their Refreshers line, featuring a strawberry acai base, coconut milk, and real strawberries.

The original drink is made with a strawberry acai base, coconut milk, Tazo tea, and some other ingredients. But this Starbucks copycat recipe is made with just 3 main ingredients, while still maintaining the same wonderful flavor. (Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
