Notes

For the brightest pink color, use ripe, fresh strawberries. Try substituting frozen strawberries for a colder drink, adjusting your ice usage accordingly. Don’t skip the garnish; it transforms the drink into a celebratory treat. If you have any leftover mixture, store it in a sealed container for up to 24 hours, but remember to re-blend before serving! A fun idea is to pour any extra mixture into molds to make popsicles for a tropical treat.
