Ingredients
- 4 tbsp of regular white sugar
- 4 tbsp of water
- 24 oz of lemon-lime soda 2 – 12 oz cans works great!
- 1 1/2 tsp of coconut extract
- 3 drops of blue food coloring
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, mix the sugar and water and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. This should dissolve most of the sugar.
- Alternatively, heat the water and sugar over medium low heat, stirring until most of the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the sugar mixture to the lemon-lime soda, coconut extract and food coloring to a pitcher and mix gently. Allow the mixture to cool slightly if warm or hot.
- Serve over ice and enjoy!
Notes
To be even more true to the original version, if you can find blue coconut snow cone syrup, then a pump of that into a cold glass of Sprite is 100 % authentic, but since I couldn’t we just made our own homemade coconut syrup 🙂 We couldn’t taste the difference, but in case you can, now you know!
