If there's anything that beats all other Valentine's Day desserts, it's chocolate-covered strawberries. The tartness of the strawberries pairs so well with the deep flavor of the chocolate, that it's no wonder they're such an iconic duo. So when Starbucks announced that one of their V-Day treats last year was adding Chocolate Cream Cold Foam to their Pink Drink, we immediately knew the sip would stand up against some of our tried-and-true coffee orders.
Though it may no longer be on the *official* Starbucks menu, you can easily hack this perfectly pink drink with chocolate cold foam. Here's how!
What is the Starbucks Pink Drink made of?
Pink Drinks are great for fans of anything strawberries & cream (or people who just don't like coffee), and it's the perfect sip for when you want something fruity.
The Pink Drink mixes strawberry açaí juice, coconut milk, and freeze-dried strawberry pieces. Not only is it delicious, but it's vegan, too!
It's definitely on the sweeter side, so if you prefer your drinks more low-key, we'd recommend ordering it half-sweet.

Since the Pink Drink is already creamy, cold foam would definitely pair well (especially if you opt for the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam, which adds another flavor). Just keep in mind that regular cold foam is not vegan, but you can also order it with non-dairy milk if you need to.

How To Make Your Own Pink Drink with Chocolate Cream Cold Foam
Want to save yourself a few bucks? Try making the Pink Drink yourself. All you need is some Ocean Spray White Cranberry Strawberry Juice and coconut milk to keep it vegan. You can also add freeze-dried strawberries to emulate the real thing!
For the chocolate cold foam, Pink Owl Kitchen recommends frothing cocoa, heavy cream, and vanilla syrup for a complex flavor, but you can also try your hand at frothing just heavy cream and chocolate syrup together. Top your homemade pink drink with the finished foam, and voilà!
