FAQs, Tips, and Tricks

Can I make this cocktail alcohol-free?

Absolutely! Simply skip the coconut rum. You’ll still have the vibrant color and tropical flavor.

How can I store leftovers?

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you need to store it, refrigerate the mix without the sparkling water and ice. It should last for 2-3 days. Just add sparkling water and ice when you’re ready to enjoy.

Can I freeze this cocktail?

Yes, for a frosty twist, try freezing the cocktail mix (minus the sparkling water) in ice cube trays. You’ll have Little Mermaid-inspired popsicles to enjoy!

What can I use instead of edible glitter?

Edible glitter adds an enchanting touch, but if you don’t have it on hand, a paper mermaid tail or a cute umbrella can also add some fun to your drink.
