Finding fun drinks is essential to any party during the hot summer months! And with this easy ocean punch recipe, you can whip up a refreshing cold drink that fits perfectly with your party theme — whether you’re hosting a beach party or under the sea themed celebration!.

Ocean Punch Ingredients

You won’t believe how easy it is to make a cute mocktail for your kids at home! That’s because you only need a handful of ingredients to make it!

Making your own under the sea punch is a quick and easy way to enjoy a cute drink at your kid’s summer birthday party! And all you need is a few ingredients to make it, including:

• Blue Hawaiian punch. The easiest way to prepare this drink is to grab a jug of blue Hawaiian punch. But if you can’t find that variety, you can also use blue Kool-Aid to make this easy drink.
• Pineapple juice. To add tropical flavor in your mocktail, add a little bit of pineapple juice! If your kids aren’t a fan of pineapple juice, you can leave it out or swap it for orange juice.
• Gummy fish and sharks. Decorate your under the sea drinks with a few gummy candies! We used mini Swedish fish and gummy sharks to add a underwater look to our drinks.
• Nerds. The finishing touch of this fun ocean drink is the Nerds candy on the bottom to resemble the ocean floor!

How to Make Ocean Punch

If you’re wondering how to make your own punch at home, you’re in luck! This tropical drink is so easy to make at home — even your kids can get in on the fun.

The first step is to add the Nerds candy to the bottom of each glass. You won’t need a ton of Nerds for each drink, just add a thin layer at the bottom of the cup.

Then, top the Nerds with ice. Fill the cup around halfway full of ice to leave room for the candy inside the drink.

Once the ice is added to the cups, place the Swedish fish in the glass. Press them down the sides along the edge of the glass so your kids can see the fish after you add the liquids.

Finish making your drink by pouring the blue Hawaiian punch in, then topping the drink with a small amount of pineapple juice.

After that, add a couple of gummy sharks floating on the top of your drink to finish the ocean look!
