What to Pack for This Drink

If you want to make this pink drink during a trip, pack:

Strawberry drink packets
Shelf-stable coconut milk, if preferred
Bottled water
Fresh strawberries
Reusable cups or tumblers
A small cutting board and knife
Ice or a plan to buy ice near your rental

If you’re staying at a beach house or vacation rental, check whether the kitchen has cups, knives, and a pitcher before assuming it does. Vacation rental kitchens love pretending “fully stocked” means one spatula and emotional damage.

Beach Trip Tip

For beach days, mix the drink before you leave the rental and pour it into an insulated tumbler. Keep it cold in a cooler, especially during hot Texas weather.
