Instructions
In a large glass, combine the acai powder and 1 cup of cold water (or coconut water). Use a small whisk or handheld frother to blend until smooth. For a finer texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any undissolved bits.
Stir in the honey (or other sweetener) until fully dissolved. Add the sliced strawberries directly into the acai mixture
Fill the glass with ice cubes. Top with a splash of sparkling water for extra fizz. Stir well before sipping and enjoy your homemade strawberry acai refresher!
Notes
Starbucks Copycat Tip: To mimic the Starbucks refresher more closely, you can replace half of the water with white grape juice and omit the honey. It creates a naturally fruity sweetness similar to the original drink.
Sweetness Adjustments: Taste the drink before serving and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add a little extra honey if you prefer a sweeter refresher.
