    Dive into the enchanting world under the sea with this non-alcoholic, kid-friendly fish bowl drink, where mermaid dreams come true with every sip.

    fish bowl drink for kids

    Since my adult Fish Bowl drinks have gained popularity, many of you have asked me to create a kid-friendly version. Well, I’m excited to share that I’ve created a fish bowl drink that’s absolutely adorable! I paid attention to every detail, including using nerds candy to resemble rocks in a fish tank.

    This delightful drink is perfect for sipping by the poolside, at mermaid-themed birthday parties, or as a celebration for the new The Little Mermaid movie. You can even set up a fun DIY station where kids can add the nerds candies to the bottom of their fish bowl, and then you go around filling them up with the mermaid punch.

    Assembling this fish bowl punch is a breeze with just a few basic ingredients and a fish bowl with straws to complete the look. To add even more charm, consider using paper umbrellas or cutting out pineapple or star fruit shapes.

    Not only does this fish bowl drink look amazing, but it’s also incredibly reef-freshing on a hot summer day.

    And here’s the best part: it’s completely non-alcoholic! However, if you’re in the mood for a boozy version for the adults, you can easily transform it into a boozy fishbowl drink.
