Before you begin, make sure to gather all ingredients. A well-prepared kitchen is half the battle won. Ensure your ice cubes are ready, and your water is chilled.

In a large blender, add the crushed ice cubes first. Then sprinkle the granulated sweetener over the ice. This helps sweeten the drink well without clumping.

Next, toss in the blue raspberry lemonade drink powder. The vivid color will showcase itself beautifully in this step. Pour in the fresh lime juice to give a pop of freshness.

Now, it’s time to blend. Pulse your ingredients until the mixture is smooth. You want it to have a consistent texture—no ice chunks, please!

Once your initial blend is smooth, slowly add in the chilled carbonated water. Blend for another few seconds until everything is well combined.

Finally, add the neon blue food coloring and vanilla extract. Blend once more to ensure everything is uniformly mixed.

Pour your creation into a tall glass. If you wish, toss in a slice of lime for garnish or colorful straws for flair. Take a moment to enjoy the view before you dive in!
