Homemade Baja Blast Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut water (for a tropical base)
- 1 cup limeade (freshly squeezed lime juice mixed with water and a bit of sugar, to taste)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP), or flavored seltzer
- 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder (for color; optional)
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- Ice cubes
- Lime slices and mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Limeade:
- In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice with 1 cup of water. Add sugar to taste, mixing until dissolved. This will serve as your limeade base.

4. Sweeten:
- Add agave syrup or honey to the mixture, adjusting the sweetness to your liking.
5. Serve:
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Baja Blast mixture over the ice.
6. Garnish:
