Begin by preparing your strawberries if using frozen ones. Allow the frozen strawberries to thaw for about 5 minutes at room temperature, then mash them with a fork until they form a chunky puree with visible fruit pieces that will add texture and color to your drink.
In your cocktail shaker or mason jar, combine the white grape juice, mashed strawberries, and dragonfruit powder. The dragonfruit powder will create that signature vibrant pink color that makes this refresher so visually appealing, turning the mixture into a beautiful magenta hue.
Add the green tea concentrate and simple syrup to the shaker. The green tea provides a subtle caffeine boost and slightly earthy undertone that balances the sweetness, while the simple syrup enhances the overall sweetness to match Dunkin's signature flavor profile.
Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture becomes frothy. You should hear the ice-like sound of the frozen fruit pieces moving around, and the liquid should become well-integrated with a smooth, uniform color.
Fill your tall glass to the top with ice cubes, ensuring the glass is packed full for maximum chill. The ice will keep your refresher cold and slightly dilute the concentrated flavors as it melts, creating the perfect sippable consistency.
Strain the strawberry dragonfruit mixture over the ice-filled glass, pouring slowly to allow the vibrant pink liquid to cascade over the ice cubes. Leave about an inch of space at the top of the glass for the coconut milk layer.
Gently pour the coconut milk over the back of a spoon held just above the drink's surface to create a beautiful layered effect. The creamy white coconut milk will float on top initially, creating an Instagram-worthy ombre effect before you stir it in.
Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries placed on the rim or floating on top of the drink. Give it a gentle stir before sipping to combine the creamy coconut milk with the fruity base, creating that signature Dunkin' Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher taste that's perfectly balanced between sweet, fruity, and refreshing.
