Recipe Ingredients & Substitutions
Basic ingredients and easy swaps to make this at home:
- Gummy Sharks (optional): A fun garnish that completes the look.
- Pebble Ice (3 cups): The soft, chewable ice used at soda shops. If unavailable, crush regular ice in a blender or use small ice cubes.
- Sprite (12 oz can): Lemon-lime soda provides the bubbly base. Substitute 7-Up, Sierra Mist, or a zero-sugar lemon-lime soda if preferred.
- Lemonade (½ cup): Adds tartness to balance sweetness. Fresh or bottled lemonade both work.
- Blue Raspberry Syrup (4 Tbsp): Gives the drink its vivid blue color and raspberry flavor. Use Torani or another flavored syrup; blueberry syrup can be an alternative.
Recipe Tip
Pebble Ice Hack: No pebble ice? Crush regular ice in a blender or place ice in a towel and gently smash it with a rolling pin for small pieces.
