๐ Instructions

1
Add the sliced strawberries, lime juice, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
๐ก Taste the puree and add a little more honey if your strawberries are not very sweet. -
2
Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher, pressing with a spoon to extract all the juice. Discard the seeds and pulp.
๐ก Skip straining if you prefer a slightly thicker texture. -
3
Whisk the coconut milk in a bowl until smooth and pourable. If it has separated in the can, stir it well before using.
๐ก For a lighter drink, swap for light coconut milk. -
4
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the strawberry puree over the ice, filling each glass about halfway.
๐ก Pour slowly for a clean, defined layer. -
5
Gently pour the coconut milk on top of the strawberry layer. Let it settle naturally to create a beautiful gradient.
๐ก Pour over the back of a spoon to keep the layers from mixing. -
6
Top each glass with a splash of cold sparkling water. Garnish with fresh mint and a strawberry slice on the rim. Serve immediately.
๐ก Give it a light stir before drinking to blend the layers.
