How to Make Strawberry Acai Refresher
Full directions on how to make this copycat Starbucks Strawberry Acai Refresher are in the printable recipe card below.
This is a quick walkthrough of how it is made.
Step 1: Mix both extracts in a glass with water.
Step 2: In another glass add juice, the rest of the water, and strawberries.
Step 3: Combine the two drinks, add to ice and enjoy.
You are more than welcome to customize the sweetness. Add less or more of the grape juice to add less or more sweetness. Also, you can add simple syrup to the drink for added sweetness.
Green coffee extract or green tea both have caffeine in the drink. If you are wanting to make a caffeine-free version, leave out the green coffee.
