# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The coconut and strawberry combo tastes like a beach vacation but takes almost no effort to make.
  • Every time I serve it at a barbecue, someone asks for the recipe before finishing their first glass.
02 -
  • Once, I tried blending the ice with the fruit right from the start and ended up with a watered-down mess—always add ice last.
  • Switching to full-fat coconut milk was a game changer for that creamy, almost dessert-like texture.
03 -
  • Avoid over-blending after adding ice or you’ll lose the frothy texture.
  • A little mint muddled into the pitcher can elevate freshness without overpowering the main flavors.
