Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • I love how customizable this Sonic ocean water is, as it allows me to make changes according to my preferences. To make it sweeter, I add agave syrup, whereas to add that fresh kick, I add lemon, mint, or pineapple chunks to it.
  • I like to play around with blue coloring because it only enriches the color and does not contribute to the taste. If the blue color eeks you out then remember that it does not affect the flavor at all.
  • I find it best to chill my glasses in the freezer before serving the Sonic ocean water. This helps keep the drink cold longer and maintains its refreshing quality.
  • To preserve the Sprite’s fizziness, I add it as the final ingredient just before serving. Whenever I make this drink in advance, I consider adding the carbonation to individual servings rather than the entire batch.
  • I also use coconut water ice cubes instead of plain water ice cubes. It enhances coconut flavor as the ice melts, enhancing the overall taste of the drink.

 Recipe Variations For Different Diets

This Sonic ocean water is gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. But unfortunately, this drink is not sugar-free. 

To make it sugar-free, I prefer using a sugar-free sweetener or syrup and voila it’s done. Now you can enjoy sugar-free sonic ocean water without being concerned with your diabetic issues.

How To Store Sonic Ocean Water

  • Countertop: Since this is a cold beverage, I do not like to keep it on the countertop for long. If it does not have to be consumed immediately, I place it in the fridge immediately because nobody enjoys warm, Sonic ocean water.
  • Refrigeration: I have stored my Sonic ocean water in the fridge for about two days. I prefer refrigerating the base of the drink. However, I always add carbonated water just before serving for that punch. 
  • Freezing: Although I have heard many people recommend freezing Sonic ocean water, I do not prefer this. I prefer to freeze the base of the drink and add carbonated water just before freezing. This is because freezing affects the carbonation of the drink; hence, it should be added fresh.

What To Serve With This Recipe

Sonic ocean water is one of the best beverages to enjoy and sip along the poolside. Since this drink is so refreshing, I like to pair it with a bowl of fresh veggies and Salad on the side.

If you are not a salad person, then you can also enjoy this with a bowl of Pasta. I had it with creamy pasta, and the flavors of Sonic ocean water tastes divine with it.
