Copycat Sonic Ocean Water

We simply love this Sonic Ocean Water – it’s perfect for summer, by the pool or a sweet treat for the kids. If you are into Dr Suess, we find this makes a yummy Dr Seuss Party Idea that goes perfect with the “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” theme.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp Water
3 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Coconut Extract
4 drop Blue Food Coloring
24 oz Sprite
Ice

Directions:

Combine water and sugar in microwavable bowl.
Microwave for 45 seconds and stir to create a simple syrup.
Allow to cool, then add food coloring and coconut extract.
Mix well.
Add syrup to cold Sprite and serve over ice.

I suggest adding Swedish Fish but place them to the side or serve in the beverage at the last minute – these gummies are no fun when they are cold and wet.

Grilled Watermelon Salad

Pin to Pinterest

Fire up the grill and get your taste buds ready for … watermelon! Most people may think that grilling fruit is bizarre but, it actually makes it taste better because it caramelizes the sugars in it. Add the grilled watermelon to crisp lettuce, top with creamy feta cheese and drizzle with tangy balsamic dressing and you’ve got a delicious, unique salad that you’ll make again and again! If you like extra crunch add some chopped pecans. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Balsamic Salad Dressing
4 oz Feta Cheese
Watermelon Cut in 1/2 inch Triangles
1 package of Baby Arugula Lettuce

Directions:

Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
Cut watermelon up in 1/2 inch triangular pieces.
Place watermelon on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until you have nice grill lines on your watermelon.
Place your watermelon on a bed of baby arugula lettuce. Top with Feta cheese and balsamic salad dressing.
