That blue raspberry Martini mix is my not-so-secret trick for a wild blue color. Last summer my niece took over decorating with sprinkles—now it’s a whole thing the kids fight for who gets to do it.

Switch-Ups and Swaps
If you’re out of Blue Raspberry Martini mix grab blue raspberry sports drink or blitz plain lemonade with frozen blueberries. For the coconut extract swap in vanilla for a throwback cream soda feel. Use regular whipped cream or pick any dairy-free topper you already love.
