Plant-based Coconut Drink Alpro Barista 1 L — dairy-free beverage for coffee and cooking

Alpro Barista Coconut Drink 1 L is a plant-based, dairy-free beverage formulated for use in coffee, milk alternatives and culinary preparations. The carton contains a coconut-flavoured drink designed to perform when steamed, frothed or simply poured into hot and cold beverages. It provides a lactose‑free and vegan option with a mild coconut aroma and a smooth, pourable texture suitable for everyday use in kitchens and cafés.

Advantages

The product is dairy-free and suitable for those avoiding lactose or animal-derived ingredients, while contributing a subtle coconut note without overpowering coffee or recipes.

How to use

Shake the carton well before opening. For hot drinks, pour the desired amount into a pitcher and steam or froth using standard espresso machine steam wands or a handheld frother until the desired microfoam is reached.

After opening, keep refrigerated and consume within the period indicated on the packaging.

Usage recommendations

To achieve optimal froth and texture in espresso-based drinks, use fresh, chilled product and a clean steam wand. When cooking or baking, consider the coconut flavour intensity—start with typical milk replacement ratios and adjust to suit the recipe. Store the carton upright and follow any additional handling guidance printed on the pack.
