Isn’t this basically a pink drink with lemonade?
spicypotatogurl [OP] 30 points 3y ago
That's exactly what that is, unfortunately
dittyquadrant 16 points 3y ago

I’ve made this before and it’s honestly pretty good, the mango dragonfruit is definitely a better option for it though. Give it a try before you hate on it

Wouldn’t the coconut milk curdle with lemonade?
Assiqtaq 9 points 3y ago
A common misconception due to the fact that it is called "milk" when it isn't actually milk. It is actually a fruit juice. Curdling is due to the nature of animal milk, and has nothing to do with similarly named fruit or nut "milk". What you see as curdling in pink drinks isn't true curdling such as would happen with 2%, it's just separating.
Gingersnap5322 9 points 3y ago
I’ve never seen it curdle and I’ve made a few, if that’s what you’re hesitant about just add a little bit of lemonade. I’ve always done half coconut half lemonade in the juice section of the shaker.
alliahj0hnson 3 points 3y ago
That’s what I do also, it’s one of my favorites!
BrookeMargot 3 points 3y ago
Only dairy products curdle, not anything with the name milk in it.

What’s the difference between the strawberry base (fruit juice) and lemonade (fruit juice)?
Cabwriting 0 points 3y ago
No because it’s coconut milk
Sillaaaa 6 points 3y ago
Dare u to drink it with heavy cream
Gingersnap5322 7 points 3y ago
...... nah
Sillaaaa 1 points 3y ago
We're in a pandemic, live it up :D
Gingersnap5322 3 points 3y ago
Maybe if I was paid I hate heavy cream as a drink. Use for cooking you betcha but I ain’t drinking it
Cabwriting 3 points 3y ago
OKAY LISTEN THO. There was a person at my store who ordered it regularly and I ALWAYS JUDGED THEM but then I tried it and I was so mad because it tastes like strawberry lemonade sherbet, no joke.
Shared it with a coworker who also judged her and he was also mad 😂😂
coffeeismymetaphor 2 points 3y ago
this actually tastes good with 1/2 açaí base and 1/2 mango dragon fruit base, don’t knock it before you try it

I once had someone come in and order a nitro with lemonade... I about vomited
spicypotatogurl [OP] 2 points 3y ago
NOOOO THAT'S NASTY

that's almost like my brother (who also is a fellow Starbucks barista) who likes to get a lemonade with an affogato shot 🤢
ItsMamaB 2 points 3y ago
OHHH NO!
drinkliquidclocks 1 points 3y ago
People order it like this all the time, or a "pink drink with lemonade" and 100% of the time, the customer has no idea what they are ordering.

I politely try to explain, and the 13 year olds look at me like I'm a fucking idiot 😐😐😐
hopelovepeace33 1 points 3y ago
That sounds disgusting! When I first started working at at my store someone ordered a passion tea with heavy cream in it 🤢🤢🤮🤮
spicypotatogurl [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Sadly that's a common order in my store. Especially with SF vanilla in it
hopelovepeace33 1 points 3y ago
Yea I’m use to the whole extra heavy cream with 10 pumps SF vanilla and 10 Splenda & I still gag every time as well as shake my head cause it’s like what even is the point when you’re still getting whipped cream as well as the other stuff the comes with it.

Yesterday a lady ordered a guava white tea lemonade...... sub peach
spicypotatogurl [OP] 2 points 3y ago
Yesterday someone ordered a peach green tea with heavy cream... ew
izziedays 4 points 3y ago
Every time someone asks for sub heavy cream i recoil. Especially in teas.

\*curdles softly\*

Edit: I've been properly schooled

Coconut milk isn't milk, its fruit juice. Curdling happens in animal milk, not nut or fruit "milk". What you see happening in pink drinks is just separation, not true curdling.


You can't make cheese out of coconut milk, you won't get curdling.
Sillaaaa 1 points 3y ago
Really?? I didn't know that haha

But thanks for the tip, I honestly thought the separation was curdling,

So if someone was to add cream to a Lemonade that would curdle, right?
Assiqtaq 1 points 3y ago
It absolutely would. In fact, the way cheese is made is by adding an acid to milk, though I don't think lemonade would work even if it didn't have sugar? Not sure about that though.

The fact that they call coconut milk "milk" means people get really confused about it. I mean, it is good for some things, like helping people realize they can use it instead of cream if they want or need to. But for other things it just makes people more confused. But then again, it would not make it better to call it coconut juice, people would just be confused the other way.
Sillaaaa 1 points 3y ago
Woowo. Ya calling it "coconut juice" would make customer interactions so much worse and so much funnier at the same time lmao
