How To Make an Ocean Water co*cktail
This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.
Step 1. Pour coconut water, pineapple juice, blue curacao, and coconut rum into a co*cktail mixing glass.
Step 2. Stir to combine.
Step 3. Serve over ice with Swedish fish or your favorite garnishes.
Garnish Ideas
Typically, this drink is garnished with Swedish Fish, but you can also add fresh pineapple chunks, cherries, or even an orange or lime slice.
If you want to elevate the summery blue co*cktail further you can rim the glasses with coarse sugar, blue sanding sugar, or coconut flakes. Use a pineapple chunk to moisten the rim to keep with the flavor theme.
Storage
If making a large batch for a party, store in a pitcher in the refrigerator. Don’t store it with ice cubes, as they’ll dilute the co*cktail as they melt.
Wait to pour over ice until ready to serve.
Store leftover spiked ocean water in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Make ahead. You can make this drink ahead of time, earlier in the day before serving. Just make sure to store it properly. Best enjoyed the same day you make it.
- Wait to garnish and ice. Adding ice too soon before serving and enjoying will water down the drink and the garnish will start to deteriorate.
- Make popsicles. If you increase the Ocean Water co*cktail recipe and make enough to have extra, you can freeze it to make boozy popsicles. To make kid-friendly popsicles, use this kid-friendly Ocean Water recipe.
- Use for a Shark Week party. Planning a Shark Week watching party with friends? Serve these co*cktails with gummy sharks instead of Swedish Fish and add a squirt of grenadine to keep with the theme.
