Ocean Water Slush Ingredients
You won’t believe how easy it is to make an ocean water slush at home! That’s because you only need three ingredients to make it!
Making your own homemade ocean water slush is a quick and easy way to enjoy your favorite Sonic drink without ever leaving your house! And all you need is four ingredients to make it, including:
- Lemon lime soda. You can use any brand of lemon lime soda to make this, but I typically use Sprite or Sprite Zero to prepare this recipe. Other good options include generic lemon lime soda from your favorite grocery store, 7-Up, or Sierra Mist.
- Coconut syrup. To add tropical flavor in your ocean water slush, you’ll need to use coconut syrup. You can use regular coconut syrup or sugar free coconut syrup in your ocean water recipe. Or you can make your own syrup at home with coconut extract.
- Blue food coloring. Whiel adding blue food coloring isn’t essential, it is the best way to get the classic blue coloring found in a Sonic Ocean water slush. You’ll only need a few drops of food coloring to tint the drink for your beach party.
- Ice. The final ingredient in this frozen drink recipe is ice. To turn your ocean water into a slush, adding ice is a must!
What Is Ocean Water at Sonic?
If you’ve never had Sonic Ocean Water, you’re probably wondering what is Ocean Water at Sonic? Ocean Water is a blue soda drink you can purchase at Sonic restaurants. It features a combination of lemon-lime soda and a hint of coconut flavor, which tastes amazing on a hot summer day! You can purchase Ocean Water year-round at Sonic, but if you don’t have one nearby, it’s so easy to make your own with just a handful of ingredients.
How to Make an Ocean Water Slush
If you’re wondering how to make your own Sonic copycat slush, you’re in luck! This frozen drink is so easy to make at home with the help of your blender.
The first step is to add ice to your blender. Make sure to put the ice in before the liquid ingredients to prevent it from gathering at the top of your blender. You’ll need around 4 cups of ice to prepare two drinks.
After adding the ice to your blender, add the lemon lime soda, coconut syrup, and blue food coloring. Place the lid on top of the blender and blend until the ice is finely chopped and the ingredients are well mixed. You may need to stop the blender halfway through blending to knock some of the ice back down into the liquid if it begins to gather at the top of the pitcher.
Once all the ice is blended, remove the blade from the blender and use a spoon to stir all the ingredients together. After that, you can pour your slush into glasses and enjoy!
