Description

A copycat strawberry acai refresher is a homemade recreation of the popular fruit infused cold drink sold at major coffee chains across the globe. Unlike traditional iced teas or heavily sugary lemonades, this specialty beverage uses a light fruit juice base accented by real fruit puree, acai berry notes, and green coffee extract.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white grape juice, chilled
  • ½ cup strawberry juice or strawberry purée
  • ¼ cup acai juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 tbsp simple syrup, to taste
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 cup ice
  • ¼ cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • ¼ tsp green coffee extract (optional, for caffeine)

Instructions

  • Add the white grape juice, strawberry juice, acai juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and water to a large shaker or jar.
  • Add the green coffee extract, if using.
  • Shake well until everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Fill two glasses with ice and add sliced strawberries.
  • Pour the refresher over the ice.
  • Stir gently and serve immediately.

Notes

For a sweeter drink, add a little more simple syrup. For a stronger strawberry flavor, use fresh strawberry purée instead of strawberry juice. If you want a caffeine-free version, simply leave out the green coffee extract.
