Tips & Tricks

Sweetness preference? No problem! Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking.
Feeling creamy? Add a splash of milk or cream to the juice mixture before shaking (optional).
No shaker? No worries! Simply pour the juice mixture over the ice and boba pearls.
Mix it up! Don’t have mixed berry juice? You can substitute it with a combination of individual fruit juices like raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry.
Leftover boba pearls? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ready for your next refreshing drink!
