Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Blue sports drink (e.g., blue Gatorade)
- 1 cup Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
- 0.5 cup Coconut water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 8 pieces Swedish fish candy
- 4 pieces Tall, clear bottles or glasses
Directions
Step 1
Fill each bottle or glass about halfway with ice cubes. The ice will help create the layered effect.
Step 2
Pour the coconut water carefully over the ice, filling each bottle or glass about one-third full. Coconut water serves as the lightest layer, representing white foam on the ocean.
Step 3
Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda over the coconut water. Tilt the bottle or glass slightly and pour the soda gently along its side to avoid mixing the layers. Fill until the glass is two-thirds full.
Step 4
For the final layer, slowly pour the blue sports drink on top of the soda. Again, tilt the bottle or glass and pour gently to keep the colors separated. The blue drink will represent the ocean water.
Step 5
Gently drop 2 Swedish fish candies into each bottle or glass. They will float within the layers, looking like fish in the ocean.
Step 6
Optional: Add a straw or decorative umbrella to each bottle or glass for a fun, tropical vibe.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ocean in a Bottle!
