Summer Skies Drink (Starbucks Copy)
Ingredients
- Water : This is your base so it plays a key role in the recipe.
- Granulated Sugar : Adds just the right touch of sweetness.
- Blueberry Raspberry, and Blackberry Extracts : These give the drink its vibrant, layered fruity flavor.
- Citric Acid : A dash of this balances the sweetness with a bit of tang.
- Green Coffee Bean Extract Optional : Adds a gentle caffeine boost if you’re into that.
- Blue Spirulina Powder : This gives the drink its stunning sky-blue color.
- Sweetened Coconut Milk : Adds a rich creamy texture.
- Raspberry Popping Pearls : For a burst of fun and flavor!
Instructions
- 1.Make the syrup : Grab a saucepan and mix equal parts water and granulated sugar. Heat it up until the sugar dissolves completely—this is your simple syrup. Once it's ready, stir in the blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry extracts, plus a bit of citric acid. This mixture will form the flavor base of your drink.
- Create the Base : Let the syrup cool down. Then, mix it with extra water, blue spirulina powder, and the green coffee bean extract if you’re using it. This is where the magic happens!
- Assemble the Drink : In a shaker, combine your berry base with sweetened coconut milk and ice. Shake it like you mean it! In a glass, pour the mixture over raspberry popping pearls.
Notes
Tips for the Perfect Drink:
Milk Options : If coconut milk isn’t your thing, try almond, oat, or soy milk. Just remember to adjust the sweetness if you use an unsweetened variety.
Sweetness Level : Play around with the amount of sugar or syrup to get it just right for your taste buds.
