FAQs

Make Ahead and Storage: 

Can I make Sonic’s Ocean Water in advance?

Because there is carbonation in this drink, this drink is best served the day of. Mix the drink well, and serve over ice. You can store it in the refrigerator to get cold and then gently stir it again before serving.

Leftovers: Store in the refrigerator and stir again before serving over ice, or freeze leftovers in your freezer for up to 2 months and make a slushy. Be aware that the carbonation will go down with time, so you won’t have a fizzy drink after it is stored for too long

Thawing frozen Ocean Water: Let thaw in the fridge or at room temperature. You can also place it in the blender and blend it to make a slushy
