Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- 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.
Step 2: Combine Ice and Sweetener
- 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.
Step 3: Add Drink Powder and Lime Juice
- 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.
Step 4: Blend It All Together
- 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!
Step 5: Mix in Carbonated Water
- Once your initial blend is smooth, slowly add in the chilled carbonated water. Blend for another few seconds until everything is well combined.
Step 6: Add Color and Flavor
- Finally, add the neon blue food coloring and vanilla extract. Blend once more to ensure everything is uniformly mixed.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- 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!

Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lime juice makes a noticeable difference. The taste is brighter, elevating the drink.
- Don’t Rush the Blending: Making sure the ice is fully blended leads to a smoother drink. No one enjoys slushy chunks.
- Chill Your Ingredients: Faster drinks mean more cooling on a hot day. Use chilled water and ice cubes for the best experience.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Taste the mixture before serving. You can add more sweetener if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try different flavors of drink powder, such as cherry or even lemonade, to create your unique version.
