Cup size: Sonic's guides give no fluid-ounce volume for Ocean Water, so none is shown and we make no price-per-ounce claim.

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 36 g (about 9 teaspoons) of added sugar a day for most men and 25 g (about 6 teaspoons) for most women. Sonic lists total sugars, not added sugars, so this is a comparison, not an exact added-sugar count.
Sonic's November 2026 Allergen Guide marks no allergen for Ocean Water. Add-ins can change that.
Source: the Ocean Water row of Sonic's November 2026 Allergen Guide. "Not marked" is not a guarantee: Sonic says it cannot eliminate cross-contact or guarantee any item is free of an allergen, and that no items are certified gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan.
Caffeine
Sonic publishes no figure, so we cannot state zero. Plain Sprite is caffeine-free according to Coca-Cola, and the Blue Coconut Syrup statement lists no caffeine source. Ask your drive-in if it matters.
Dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian
No milk is marked and neither ingredient statement lists a dairy ingredient. Sonic certifies no item as vegan or vegetarian, so we label it neither.
Gluten
Wheat and gluten are not marked, but Sonic certifies no item as gluten-free. Check other items with our Sonic allergen tool.

Sonic lists Sprite and each add-in as separate rows in its Fall 2026 nutrition guide. This tool adds those rows to estimate a swap or a flavor shot. It is our arithmetic, not Sonic's recipe, and a drive-in may not make every combination.

The published Medium Ocean Water is 190 calories, 53 g sugar and 95 mg sodium. Allergens marked in Sonic's November 2026 guide: Coconut add-in, tree nuts; Sweet Cream, milk; Make It Dirty, milk and tree nuts. Check other add-ins in the allergen tool.
| Size | Published | Sprite + Blue Coconut | Gap (sum minus published) | Sprite Zero + Blue Coconut |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini (Wacky Pack) | 80 cal · 21 g | 80 cal · 20 g | exact | 10 cal · 2 g |
| Small | 110 cal · 31 g | 110 cal · 30 g | exact | 10 cal · 2 g |

| Route 44® | 400 cal · 108 g | 385 cal · 104 g | -15 cal | 35 cal · 8 g |
At the Mini (Wacky Pack) and Small, the two rows add up to exactly the published drink. At the Medium (-5 cal), Large (-15 cal), Route 44® (-15 cal), the sum differs from the published drink, so Sonic does not scale the pour in a straight line. A Sprite Zero Sugar version is not a Sonic menu item and Blue Coconut is not one of Sonic's listed zero-sugar flavors, so it still carries the syrup's sugar.
Medium sizes, from Sonic's Fall 2026 guide. Ocean Water is 20 calories above a plain Medium Sprite (170). 5 of the 6 other drinks here have more calories.

Per Sonic's Fall 2026 nutrition guide: Mini (Wacky Pack) 80, Small 110, Medium 190, Large 300, Route 44® 400. The Medium has 190 calories, 53 g of sugar and 95 mg of sodium, with 0 g of fat and protein.
Mini (Wacky Pack) 21 g, Small 31 g, Medium 53 g, Large 80 g, Route 44® 108 g. A Medium's 53 g is about 13.3 teaspoons (4 g per teaspoon). The American Heart Association suggests no more than 36 g of added sugar a day for most men and 25 g for most women. Sonic lists total sugars, not added sugars, so this is a comparison, not an exact added-sugar figure.
Sonic's guides list no prices and each drive-in sets its own. Typical US pickup prices from Drive Thru Index (checked November 5, 2026): Mini (Wacky Pack) $1.89, Small $2.49, Medium $2.89, Large $3.29, Route 44® $3.79. The Medium ranged from $2.09 to $4.69 across 3,352 restaurants. Delivery apps usually cost more, so check the Sonic app or the menu board.
Sonic's November 2026 Allergen Guide marks no allergen for Ocean Water or its Blue Coconut Flavor. It marks tree nuts for the Coconut Flavor add-in and milk and tree nuts for the Make It Dirty add-in. Sonic says it cannot eliminate cross-contact or guarantee any item is free of an allergen, and that no items are certified gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan. Tell your carhop about any allergy.
Sonic publishes no caffeine figure for it, so we cannot state zero. Plain Sprite is caffeine-free according to Coca-Cola, and Sonic's ingredient statement for the Blue Coconut Syrup lists no caffeine source. Ask your drive-in if you must avoid caffeine.
Sonic describes it as sweet and refreshing with a hint of Blue Coconut flavor, served over Sonic's ice. Sonic's Ingredient Statement Guide lists the Blue Coconut Syrup as water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate (preservative), xanthan gum, Blue #1, sucralose and silicone (anti-foaming agent). A Sonic spokesperson, as reported by Allrecipes, says the other part is Sprite; the Sprite syrup is listed as high fructose corn syrup, water, citric acid, natural flavors, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate (to protect taste) and dimethylpolysiloxane. Sonic gives no ingredient statement or syrup amounts for the finished drink.
Sonic lists no zero-sugar Ocean Water. Its Fall 2026 guide lists five zero-sugar flavor add-ins (Blackberry, Cherry, Mango, Peach and Raspberry); Blue Coconut is not one of them. Allrecipes reports you can order Sprite Zero Sugar with Blue Coconut added. Adding Sonic's own rows gives about 15 calories and 4 g of sugar in a Medium, against 190 and 53 g. That is our arithmetic, not a Sonic menu item, and we could not confirm drive-ins will make it.
By the numbers, nearly. Sonic's Sprite row plus its Blue Coconut add-in row equals the published Ocean Water at Mini (Wacky Pack) and Small, but is lower at Medium (5 calories less), Large (15 calories less), Route 44® (15 calories less). Sonic does not publish its recipe, so treat this as a rough guide only.
Sonic's guides list no Ocean Water slush. The nearest listed item is the Blue Coconut Cream Slush: 630 calories in a Medium, with milk marked as an allergen.
Sonic's deals page, as last reviewed on our Happy Hour page in October 2026, describes Happy Hour as half-price drinks and slushes ordered in the Sonic app, excluding the Mini size. We therefore treat Mini (Wacky Pack) as not eligible. Terms can change, so the app shows what applies to your order.
A Sonic spokesperson told Allrecipes that Ocean Water became an official menu drink in 1982, was trademarked in 1996, and is the No. 2-selling Signature Drink behind the Cherry Limeade. We could not re-check that article, so treat the dates and ranking as Sonic's statement, not our finding. Sonic's Fall 2026 and November 2026 guides list it as a regular item.
Sonic's Fall 2026 nutrition guide lists Ocean Water in all five sizes, and its November 2026 Allergen Guide does not list it under limited-time offers. Each drive-in sets its own menu, so confirm in the Sonic app or find a Sonic near you.
Sonic's deals page, as last reviewed on our Happy Hour page in October 2026, describes half-price drinks and slushes ordered in the Sonic app, excluding the Mini size.
