My daughters get to share the Starbucks strawberry acai refresher if I ever go through the drive-thru to grab myself a coffee. Much to their delight, I learned how to make a copycat version at home, it's not exactly the same but to them it's a yummy pink drink and they love it.
With a few simple steps you too can enjoy this delicious homemade version at home and skip the drive thru. It does require a few ingredients that we normally don't have around, but for the price of a large Starbucks pink drink, you can buy enough ingredients to make this refreshing drink 10 times.
