Make this delightful Strawberry Espresso Pink Drink Latte at home using real strawberries to make your homemade strawberry syrup.
I was inspired to make this drink from an Instagram post I saw one day. The iced latte was pink in the bottom and poured over with espresso on top. The picture looks so delicious that I wanted to recreate the drink and try it at home. This is the result of my research, a delightful iced strawberry espresso pink drink latte.
How to make an Iced Strawberry Espresso Pink Drink Latte
This drink might not look like a pink drink at the moment because I wanted to capture how delicious the strawberry syrup looks in contrast to the dark espresso. However, if you mix the strawberry syrup and milk first before pouring the espresso, you can recreate the Instagram post that I saw. Pink milk in the bottom and delicious brown espresso poured on top!
Here’s what you will need:
- Make your fresh strawberry syrup (read here for step by step tutorial)
- Milk Syrup
- Your favorite milk
- Ice
- Espresso
Instructions:
Add homemade strawberry syrup (learn how to make strawberry syrup) and milk syrup in a glass cup. Fill the glass with ice. Then carefully pour your favorite milk over the ice. Pour over the freshly made espresso over the milk and ice, then serve and enjoy!
Note: The recipe for the strawberry syrup is the same as the strawberry puree. After making it, the only thing you need to do is strain the puree to get a delicious strawberry syrup.

Questions you may have:
How many ounces per serving?
The serving size is about 12oz. If you order from a cafe, it would be a small-sized drink.
What is a milk syrup?
A milk syrup is a combination of one part evaporated milk and one part condensed milk.
Can I skip the milk syrup?
Yes, you can; the drink will taste a little less sweet.
How to get the pink drink look?
Before pouring the espresso on top, to get the pink drink look, mix the milk and strawberry syrup first. You may add more strawberry syrup to make the color of the milk a little pinker.
