Fish Bowl Drink
My fun fishbowl drink combines tangy pineapple and sweet peach flavors. One sip, and you'll understand why this is the best summer cocktail ever.
Serve with our mermaid cupcakes for the ultimate beach-themed party.
I love fruity drinks like the Sangria Margarita, the sea breeze, orange Fireball Jello Shots, and the Tequila Sunrise. This fish bowl drink is another of my favorites. It's perfect for parties and a total showstopper that could also double as a centerpiece. It reminds me of the islands or being on vacation. It's perfect for pool parties, beach picnics, and bachelor/bachelorette parties. Kid party? Try my nonalcoholic ocean water or blue baby shower punch instead.
The Fish Bowl Drink will be the talk of your party
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Pineapple Rum: I used Barcardi in this recipe. Malibu is also good.
- Flavor: Sweet, juicy pineapple with a caramel finish
- Strength: 70 proof or 35% ABV
- Use Leftovers In: Boozy Gummy Bears or Pina Coladas
- Blue Curacao: This blue spirit is made with the Laraha citrus fruit. I like the brands Drillaud and Bols.
- Flavor: Bright and citrusy with a slightly bitter finish.
- Proof: 50 proof or 25% ABV
- Use leftovers In: Blue Margaritas, Blue Hawaiis, or Blue Lagoons
- Pineapple Peach Limeade: I used the brand Calypso found at Walmart.
- If you can't find this, regular limeade may be used instead.
- Pineapple Juice: Look for this in the juice aisle near the juices. You could also use the juice from canned pineapple.
- Sprite: Any lemon-lime soda can be used here, such as Sierra Mist or 7 Up.
Prefer a Less Sweet Drink?
You can also use club soda or sparkling water for a less sweet drink.
️Krystle's Tips️
- Look for fish bowls at the pet store, craft store, or Amazon. Aim for one that holds around 10 cups or 2.5 liters.
- Chill: Chill your bowl in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to help keep the drink ice cold.
- Avoid Non-Edible Ingredients: Don't add glass discs or marbles to the bottom, no matter how cute it looks. It poses a choking hazard.
- How Strong Is This Drink? It is around 13 proof or 6% alcohol by volume for around one cup serving. This equals 1-1.5 standard drinks. Always enjoy responsibly.
While this drink is traditionally served in a fish bowl, it doesn’t have to be. You can substitute any glass. A short wide glass will look best.
Garnish Last
Add the Swedish fish just before serving as they have a tendency to sink.
