A refreshing tropical punch combining the sweetness of fresh strawberries with the creamy richness of coconut milk.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
1 lime, juiced
4 cups coconut milk
4 cups sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
1/2 cup coconut syrup (or to taste)
Optional: 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup

Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull and slice them into quarters.
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the sliced strawberries, pineapple chunks, and lime juice. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to meld flavors.
Pour the coconut milk into the fruit mixture and stir gently to combine.
Gradually add the coconut syrup to the mixture, tasting as you go to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
