This tastes like your favorite chewy candy, but in a cool, sippable form you'll want to show off on sunny days.
The ease of tossing everything into a jar and giving it a happy shake means refreshment is less than five minutes away.

If you skip shaking and just stir, the coconut milk can stay a bit separated and not look as dreamy as you want.
Swapping coconut milk for oat milk came as a happy accident when I ran out, and the new depth of flavor was a pleasant surprise.

Chill all your liquids before mixing to avoid a watered-down refresher from melting ice.
If you want a super-smooth look, strain through a mesh sieve as you pour.
