I love ocean water/blue coconut soda. But I don’t really like all the sugar and other not so good ingredients in it. So when we had an Under the Sea themed party for my son’s 3rd birthday, I decided to make my own healthier ocean water recipe.
It’s super simple, super delicious and super refreshing on a hot summer day!
Homemade and Healthy Ocean Water Recipe:
- 1 liter Coconut Water
- 2 liters Sparkling/Seltzer Water
- Kool-Aid Blue Raspberry Liquid
- Chill the coconut water and sparkling water.
- Combine coconut water and sparkling water in a pitcher.
- Add a few squirts of Kool-Aid, more or less to taste (it provides both the color and the sweetness)
Drink as is or try it in one of these amazing concoctions:
Classic Ocean Water Float: Pour over vanilla ice cream
Pina Colada Float: Pour over pineapple sorbet/sherbet
Blue Colada: Add 1 small can of pineapple juice
Ocean Water Cocktail: Mix with rum
This is such a cute idea.. I want some right now! Love that you gave it a healthy twist!
Thanks, Dawn! I’m constantly working to find the balance between sharing the things I love with my kids and keeping them healthy.
