# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you need something quick but special.
  • The coconut milk gives it a creamy, tropical vibe without any dairy, so it feels indulgent but light.
  • You can adjust the sweetness and intensity to match your mood or the season.
  • Fresh strawberries add little bursts of flavor that make every sip feel handmade.
02 -
  • If you skip shaking or stirring well, the coconut milk will sit on top and the syrup will sink—it won't taste right until you mix it properly.
  • Using warm coconut milk or room temperature water will melt the ice too fast and dilute the flavor, so always start with everything chilled.
  • Fresh strawberries are key—frozen ones release too much water and make the drink watery instead of refreshing.
03 -
  • Freeze coconut milk in ice cube trays and use those instead of regular ice—it keeps the drink cold without watering it down as it melts.
  • If your strawberry syrup is too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds so it blends smoothly without clumping.
  • For a fizzy twist, replace half the cold water with sparkling water and add it at the very end so you don't lose the bubbles.
