Ingredients
  

Popsicle Base
  • 3 cups clear lemon-lime soda or coconut water chilled
  • 1-2 drops blue liquid food coloring adjust for desired ocean color
  • 1 cup gummy fish assorted colors

Equipment

  • Popsicle molds
  • Wooden popsicle sticks
  • Measuring cup with spout

Method
 

  1. In a large measuring cup, mix your clear soda or coconut water with the blue food coloring until you reach a vibrant ocean blue.
  2. Pour the blue liquid into your popsicle molds, filling them about one-third of the way up.
  3. Drop 1-2 gummy fish into each mold. Place in the freezer for 45-60 minutes until semi-slushy. This prevents the fish from sinking.
  4. Remove from freezer. Pour more liquid until two-thirds full, add a few more gummy fish, and insert popsicle sticks into the slushy mix.
  5. Top off the molds with remaining liquid, leaving a little room at the top for expansion. Add one final gummy fish.
  6. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely solid.
  7. To unmold, run the outside of the popsicle molds under warm water for 10-15 seconds and gently pull the sticks.

Notes

You can substitute the clear liquid and food dye with a blue sports drink for a faster, dye-free alternative.
