Need a refreshing drink this Summer?! This Sonic copycat drink is super easy to make and the kiddos love helping out. You really don’t need that many ingredients…I love the coconut extract! I also like to add swedish fish if it’s for the kids since you are making “ocean water”. Enjoy this delicious treat!

Hello! So I am looking to make this drink for an upcoming party I am throwing but the issue is that myself and two other guests have coconut allergies. Is there anything we can substitute in for the extract?
The imitation coconut extract shouldn’t bother your allergies. Look at the ingredients to be sure. My sister is allergic to coconut too, but the imitation extract doesn’t seem to bother her.
Couldn’t you just color sprite or 7 up with blue food coloring? If your guests are allergic to the coconut extract just serve blue colored 7 up or Sprite, that is what I would do.
Could I use coconut water or milk instead of extract?
I am using this for a Forest Party. I will re-name it “Lake Water Punch”. I did find a punch called Pond Water Punch. It is a yucky green. Since we eat and drink first with our eyes, blue punch is more appealing to me.
Can I substitute coconut extract with anything else?????????????????????
Use vanilla or lemon, lime. Or just leave it out. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge. Spite & 7Up are both Lemon-Lime flavors.
Sorry Key Board being fussy that should say Sprite!
