INGREDIENTS

Pour the Sprite or 7UP over the ice, filling the glass about three quarters of the way. Add the coconut syrup.

STEP 2: ADD THE SODA AND COCONUT SYRUP

Add 1 to 2 drops of blue food coloring and stir until the color is evenly distributed. Start with one drop and add more if you want a more vivid blue.
