This boozy Fish Bowl Cocktail is made with blue Hawaiian punch, coconut rum and fish candies served in fish bowl drink glasses. Perfect party drink for adults!
If you haven’t sipped a cocktail from a fish bowl, are you truly living? It’s a trend that’s taken the world by storm, especially among adults, but don’t worry, I’ve got a non-alcoholic version for the kids to join in on the fun too!
Traditionally, fish bowl drinks are meant to be shared among friends, however, for a more personal experience, we serve them in smaller fish bowls, perfect for individuals. If you’re in a sharing mood, just double the recipe and serve it in a larger fish bowl with multiple straws.
Whether you’re hosting a summer party or simply want to treat yourself to something special, the fish bowl cocktail is guaranteed to make a splash.
If you’re looking for more fish bowl drink ideas, try my Electric Lemonade Fish Bowl Drink or Island Fishbowl Drink. Both are perfect for summer and sharing with friends.
