  3. Add The Creamy Element
  4. Fill your glass with ice cubes, leaving room at the top. Pour the strawberry base over the ice, filling about 3/4 of the way. Slowly add oat milk to create that signature swirling "daydream" effect.

  5. Make The Cold Foam Topping
  6. In a small bowl or milk frother, combine heavy cream (or oat creamer) with vanilla syrup. Froth until light and foamy. If you don't have a frother, seal in a mason jar and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds.

Notes

Use Fresh Ingredients:
Store-bought strawberry syrup works, but fresh strawberry puree makes the drink taste more vibrant and authentic.
Customize Sweetness: Adjust sweetness by adding more or less strawberry syrup or vanilla to suit your taste preferences.
Chill Ingredients First:
Cold ingredients blend better and create more distinct layers. Refrigerate your oat milk and juice beforehand.
Green Tea for Caffeine:
Use chilled green tea instead of grape juice for a 25-35mg caffeine boost similar to Dunkin's Refreshers.
Make Ahead:
Prep the strawberry base up to 3 days in advance and store in the fridge.
Add fresh cold foam when serving.
Vegan Option:
Use oat creamer instead of heavy cream for the cold foam to keep the entire drink plant-based.
Storage:
Store strawberry base in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze extra puree in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
