Colorful frozen drink cubes made with cranberry juice, fruit-flavored Jolly Rancher candies, coconut water, lime, berries, and shredded coconut. Add them to sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a bright, fruity drink that is perfect for parties, summer gatherings, or a fun family treat.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
* 1 cup blue raspberry drink or blue sports drink
* 1 cup coconut water
* 1 cup grape juice
* 16–20 assorted Jolly Rancher hard candies, divided by color
* ½ cup mixed berries, finely chopped
* ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut
* 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
* Sparkling water or lemon-lime soda, for serving
* Lime slices, for garnish
How to Make It:
1️⃣ Sort the candies
Separate the Jolly Rancher candies by color so each ice tray can have its own flavor and bright appearance.
2️⃣ Melt the red candies
Place the red candies in a small saucepan with the cranberry juice. Heat over low heat, stirring until fully dissolved.
3️⃣ Make the blue mixture
Repeat with the blue candies and blue raspberry drink.
4️⃣ Make the white coconut mixture
Combine the coconut water, lime juice, and shredded coconut in a measuring cup.
5️⃣ Make the purple mixture
Melt the purple candies into the grape juice over low heat, stirring until smooth.
6️⃣ Fill the trays
Pour each colored mixture into a separate ice-cube tray. Add a few chopped berries or a pinch of coconut to each compartment.
7️⃣ Freeze the cubes
Place the trays flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
8️⃣ Release the cubes
Let the trays rest at room temperature for 2–3 minutes, then gently twist or press to remove the cubes.
9️⃣ Build the drinks
Add a mixture of red, blue, white, and purple cubes to each tall glass.
🔟 Add soda and serve
Slowly pour sparkling water or lemon-lime soda over the cubes. Garnish with a lime slice and serve immediately.
Store the cubes in separate airtight freezer bags for up to 2 weeks.
