Ingredients

Coconut Simple Syrup

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon coconut extract

Soda

  • 2 tablespoons coconut simple syrup
  • tablespoons blue curaçao syrup non-alcoholic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 to 1¼ cups chilled lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
  • Ice

Optional Caffeination (Choose one)

  • 25–50 mg liquid caffeine drops about ¼–½ teaspoon, brand-dependent
  • teaspoon powdered caffeine food-grade, unflavored
  • ¼ cup chilled matcha lemonade or green coffee extract

Optional Garnish

  • Lime wheel
  • Maraschino cherry
  • Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat over medium, stirring, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the coconut extract, and allow the syrup to cool completely.
  • Fill a tall 16-ounce glass with ice.
  • Pour 1 ounce of coconut simple syrup over the ice.
  • Add the blue curaçao syrup and fresh lime juice to the glass.
  • Top with chilled lemon-lime soda or sparkling water.

  • Gently stir until the drink is evenly mixed and lagoon-blue in color.
  • Garnish if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup to keep this soda family-friendly.
  • Coconut extracts vary in strength; start with the listed amount and adjust to taste.
  • For a lighter, café-style drink, choose sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda.
  • If adding caffeine, always measure carefully and label caffeinated drinks clearly.
  • The coconut simple syrup can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a layered lagoon effect, add soda last and stir very gently.
  • Crushed ice melts faster and slightly softens the sweetness of the drink.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?
You can prepare the coconut simple syrup in advance, but the soda itself is best mixed just before serving to keep the fizz bright and lively.

Is this safe for kids?
Yes, as long as you skip the optional caffeinated add-ins. Using non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup keeps it completely family-friendly.

What can I use instead of blue curaçao syrup?
You can substitute blue raspberry syrup or a blue sports drink syrup, though the flavor will be less citrus-forward and slightly sweeter.

How can I make this less sweet?
Use sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda and reduce the coconut simple syrup to 1 tablespoon.

Can I turn this into a frozen drink?
Yes! Blend the ingredients with ice for a slushy-style lagoon drink, adding soda last or replacing it with sparkling water after blending.

Does the caffeine affect the flavor?
Unflavored liquid caffeine or green coffee extract blends in well and does not noticeably change the taste when used in small amounts.
