Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon Acai Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Green Coffee Bean Powder (optional, caffeine source)
  • 1/2 cup Freeze Dried Strawberries

Liquids

  • 2 cups White Grape Juice
  • 1 cup Passionfruit Juice
  • 1/2 cup Water (divided)
  • 1 Tablespoon Strawberry Syrup

Instructions

  1. Make the Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together the acai powder and green coffee bean powder with 1/4 cup of water until fully dissolved, creating a smooth slurry similar in consistency to a cornstarch and water mixture.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the slurry into a large mason jar. Add the white grape juice, passionfruit juice, remaining 1/4 cup water, and strawberry syrup to the jar.
  3. Shake to Mix: Secure the lid tightly on the mason jar and shake vigorously to thoroughly combine all the ingredients into a uniform refresher base.
  4. Serve with Strawberries: Pour the mixture over a glass filled with ice. Top with freeze-dried strawberries and give a quick stir to infuse the fruit flavor throughout the drink.

Notes

  • You can omit the green coffee bean powder if you prefer a caffeine-free version.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries add flavor and a pleasant texture but can be replaced with fresh strawberries if desired.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less strawberry syrup according to your taste.
  • For a chilled experience, refrigerate the assembled refresher base before serving.
  • Use a large jar or bottle for easy shaking and mixing.
