Seaside Splash

Seaside Splash

JoJo’s Sweet Treats

The beach is the perfect place to visit during the warm summer months so we’ve conjured up a refreshing drink that captures the feelings of being by the seaside.

‘Seaside Splash’ replicates the splashes of colour in the sea with our clever layering of a refreshing Blue Raspberry base and Citrus Lime emerging on top with a splash of clear fizzy soda water bubbles. Many of our sweets feature the beach theme, so sitting in the lid of the drink is a blue jellybean base, cute little blue penguin and turtle gummy and a soft foam sea shell capturing life that exists in the beach environment.

Primary flavour or flavours: Blue Raspberry and Lime

Ingredients: Blue Raspberry Syrup, Lime syrup and soda water
 Lid Topper includes blue jellybeans, sea shell, turtle and blue penguin gummy.

Cost: $7.00
