    Make this Copycat Ocean Water Drink for the kids! So much fun to dress it up for a party or just because! Fun for shark week too!

    Summer fun is the name of the game and we are living it up right now! I am always looking for ways to make memories that are fun and affordable! Even if it is just something small we try to do something fun and new every day during the summer.  Today's fun was this Copycat Ocean Water Drink. The kids have gotten ocean water from Sonic before, but it wasn't quite this dressed up. So much fun to dress it up and make it a little fancier too!

    What You Will Need

    You will need coconut extract, which sometimes is hard to find at the store. You can always order it from Amazon too.

    I also dressed up our Copycat Ocean Water with some of these Swedish Fish & lifesavers candies tied to red bakers string and hung it on a red and white paper straw. We have now gotten where we make this for Shark Week to0! It would be super cute to serve at an ocean themed party and more!

    Low Sugar/Sugar Free Version

    With the abundance of sparkling water flavors available now you can make a low/no-sugar version of Ocean Water. Just use a Lemon Sparkling Water in place of the sprite. Still fun and delicious!

    Shark Week Fun

    This is perfect for shark week or an ocean party! Check out all of the shark week ideas here on A Few Shortcuts. There are a ton and we are adding more every year!
