½cupstemmed and sliced fresh strawberries(plus more for garnish)
2cupsOceanspray White Cran-Strawberry Juice
1cupsweetened vanilla coconut milk
4tspsimple syrup(optional, for added sweetness)
small ice cubes
Instructions
In a pitcher, add the sliced fresh strawberries. Very gently crush the strawberries by using a muddler. (The goal is to release some of the juices, not to smash them completely. The slices should still be intact.)
Add white cran-strawberry juice, sweetened vanilla coconut milk, and simple syrup; stir to combine.
Pour over ice in glasses to serve. Add additional strawberry slices for garnish, optional.

Notes
Whisk the coconut milk until completely smooth before adding. It separates in the carton and can clump when it hits the cold juice.
Press the strawberries gently, just until juice releases. Over-muddling makes the drink cloudy.
The drink settles as it sits, so stir before each pour. Great for making ahead for a crowd, assemble the pitcher earlier in the day and refrigerate.
The optional simple syrup makes it taste closest to Starbucks-level sweetness. Without it, the drink is lightly sweet.
Want the caffeine added back in? A splash of brewed green tea does the trick.
