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
Tips and Tricks:
- make this drink even more fun and kid-friendly by adding Swedish Fish to the top of your drinks
- pour over glasses that are full of ice
- add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the drink for a fun summer float
- you can double the recipe for more drinks
- if you don’t have access to a stove, you can use a microwave to heat the water in a microwave-safe bowl
