    DIY Ombré Pink Drink

    JUMP TO RECIPE

    Starbucks just came out with the Ombré Pink Drink and I knew I HAD to make it at home! It's so tasty and refreshing. The best part, perhaps, is the simple ingredients!

    Homemade Starbucks Ombre Pink Drink recipe

    DIY Ombré Pink Drink

    I saw Starbucks' new Ombré Pink Drink on Instagram and knew I HAD to make a homemade version! Unlike macchiatos or lattes, you don't need any fancy equipment. This drink is REALLY easy to make.

    Not only is it seriously GORGEOUS, the Ombré Pink Drink tastes amazing. Passion tea + lime + coconut milk = my new favorite flavor combination. All you need need is a handful of ingredients and 5 minutes (minus the tea-brewing time.)

    Starbucks Ombre Pink Drink recipe ingredients

    First, brew your tea. I brew a big batch ahead of time. The best tea to use for this recipe is Tazo Passion Tea - because that's the tea that Starbucks uses! You can use any tea that brews pink though.

    When your tea is chilled, mix the coconut milk with some lime juice. You can also stir in your sweetener of choice if you like a sweet drink. For an alcoholic version, add some coconut rum!

    The trick to creating an ombre pink drink is a lot of ice. 

    First, add ice halfway up the glass. Then, pour in the coconut milk until it reaches the top of the ice. Add in more ice before slowly (key: slowly) pouring in your tea over the ice.

    Garnish with a lime wedge, stick a straw in, and sip away!

    This is the perfect drink just to treat yourself to something pretty, or to make for a group of friends that are sure to be impressed.

    Ingredients
      

    • lots of ice
    • 1 cup Tazo passion tea cold
    • 1 cup coconut milk
    • 1 teaspoon lime juice
    • stevia optional, to sweeten the coconut milk and/or the tea

    Instructions
     

    • Brew the passion tea according to the instructions on the box. It's easier to make it the day before so it's cold. Add stevia if you want to for some sweetness.
    • Stir together the coconut milk and lime juice (and stevia if desired.)
    • Fill your cup up halfway with ice. Pour coconut milk to the top of the ice.
    •  Fill the rest of the way with ice. Then, slowly pour the tea in over the ice.
    • Top with a lime wedge and sip away!

      I love this drink & you have just saved me from spending so much money at Starbucks lol..thank you 🙂

      Also, if you are getting a purple color..you put too much coconut milk & didn’t layer correctly (pour slowly). Mine looked exactly like the picture.

      Thank you for the recipe. Do you happen to have a DIY recipe for their Teavana Shaken Iced Piña Colada Tea Infusion? 🙂

      Hi! I just came upon this drink and it's AMAZING! I saw your post as I wanted to make my own too. I wonder if the tea is the same because it looks like Starbucks uses a different kind of leaves. I love the Tazo Passion one by itself and was going to use it to make what Starbucks made, but then was comparing ingredients and they look different. Any insight would be great.

      Thanks!

      What kind of coconut milk do you use? I tried to make this but it is as if the coconut milk is too watery and the drink comes our more of a purple color istead of pink. Please help!

        Oh no! I used the coconut milk that comes in a refrigerated carton (Silk brand).

          I used coconut milk (silk brand) that comes from the fridge; however, it turns purple too! I think there is something wrong with your recipe and you nefer want to talk about. It is about the the passion tea. Your pic are beautiful but they are not real. Sorry for saying that but this the truth !

          You can see in the video that the color is real. I don't edit my photos to be something they are not and that is the truth. I don't have time to be fake or doctor images. I use the exact same tea that Starbucks uses, if it's coming out a different color, then perhaps test brew time or use a different coconut milk. Best of luck to you.

          You also need to make sure you are using enough ice. That is what creates the layers.

      That is my favorite tea 🙂 I always brew a big 24 oz bottle then put it in the freezer and smash it on the counter to create a mock italian ice to enjoy every night!
