How to Make Ocean Water

The full directions on how to make ocean water are in the printable recipe card below. This is a quick walk-through on how to make. 

Step 1: Heat water to warm it up, and then pour the sugar in and stir. You want warm water to ensure the sugar can melt, otherwise you will have gritty texture to your drink. 

Step 2: Next you will add in the Sprite, coconut extract, and blue food coloring. Stir well to combine. 

Step 3: Pour ice in cups, and then pour the ocean water in. Then top with shark gummies and a drop of grenadine! 

Can I Make This Drink In Advance 

The Sprite will go flat if it sits in the fridge. You can mix up the sugar and water and store in the fridge for 2-3 days until you are ready. Then just assemble the rest. 

Tips and Variations To Recipe 

• Leave out the sugar and water if you don’t want the drink as sweet. Just replace with more Sprite or other Lemon Lime sugar. 
• The Grenadine is optional, but I love the kick of flavor it adds. 
• If you are not a fan of coconut, leave out the coconut extract. 
• The shark gummies are optional, but they sure are fun. Make sure to place the sharks on the top of the ice so they stay floating. 
• Add a drop of red food coloring to look like blood in the drink, for a fun twist.
