Ocean Water

Have you ever tried the Ocean Water slush at Sonic? Well, here's the yummy recipe!

Ocean Water
3 T water
2 T sugar
1 t coconut extract
2 drops blue food coloring
2- 12oz cans Sprite, cold
crushed ice

1. Combine water and sugar in small bowl. Microwave for 30-45 seconds and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow this mixture to cool.
2. Add coconut extract and food coloring to cooled mixture. Stir well.
3. Pour Sprite into a pitcher, and add blue mixture. Pour over ice.

I used green food coloring in honor of St. Patrick's Day, and I put the ocean water (with ice) in the blender to make it more like a slush.
