In a pitcher, add ½ cup sliced fresh strawberries. Very gently crush the strawberries by using a muddler. The goal is to release some of the juices, not to smash them completely. The slices should still be intact.

Add 2 cups white cran-strawberry juice, 1 cup sweetened vanilla coconut milk, and 4 teaspoons simple syrup; stir to combine.

Pour over ice in glasses to serve. Add additional strawberry slices for garnish, optional.
