Fishbowl cups
candy (Swedish Fish + Nerds work perfectly)
ice
light up glow ice-cubes (optional)
decorative umbrellas
your favorite blue colored juice or soda! (We used Sunkist Berry Lemonade)
paper straws
Teddy Grahams with Lifesaver Gummy floats is a fun addition too!
1.) The Nerds are your base, kind of like the pebbles at the bottom of a real fishbowl. You’ll want to use a generous amount to ensure the entire bottom is covered.
2.) Top with ice. The more the better here, you want your drink to be nice and cool.
3.) Pour in your favorite blue juice or soda. This adds a visually appealing ocean-like hue to your creation! We used Sunkist Berry Lemonade but here are some more great options:
Blue Raspberry Lemonade - Provides a sweet and tangy flavor with a brilliant blue color.
Blue Gatorade - Hydrating and flavorful, this sports drink adds a refreshing taste.
Blue Hawaiian Punch - A kid-friendly option that offers a fruity, tropical flavor.
Blue Kool-Aid - Classic and easy to make, it's a favorite for kids and adults alike.
Blue Fanta -This soda adds a bubbly texture and a sweet, fruity taste.
Mountain Dew Voltage - A blue-raspberry flavored soda with a slight citrus twist, great for adding fizz.
Blue Powerade - Another hydrating option with a bright blue color and a mild flavor.
Blue Raspberry Slushie Mix - Adds a thick, slushy texture that can make the drink even more fun and refreshing.
Blue Bubble Gum Soda - For a unique, sweet flavor that kids will love.
Blue Curaçao - This blue liqueur not only adds vibrant color but also a citrusy flavor. Perfect for adult versions of the drink.
These blue drinks and sodas will not only enhance the visual appeal of your fishbowl gummy candy drink but also provide a variety of flavor profiles to suit different tastes
4.) Top with your Swedish Fish candy. Over time, it will sink towards the bottom of the bowl but they are such a fun addition!
5.) These light up ice cubes are so fun to add, especially if you are serving at night or even indoors. If you’re enjoying outside on a sunny day the effect won’t be nearly as noticeable. Experiment with different colors to get the exact effect that you want.
6.) Time to enjoy! Have some cute bear cookies on the side or drop them right into your fishbowl drink! Now’s the time to add your decorative umbrella and straws so you can enjoy!
This recipe is so easy to recreate and literally takes just minutes! Creating a fishbowl gummy candy drink is a delightful way to add a splash of color and fun to any gathering. With a variety of blue drinks and sodas to choose from, you can tailor the flavor to your liking while ensuring your drink looks like a vibrant, miniature ocean. Whether you're making a non-alcoholic version for kids or a boozy treat for adults, these drinks are sure to be a hit. So gather your ingredients, mix up a batch, and watch as your guests marvel at your creativity. Cheers to enjoying a unique and tasty beverage that’s perfect for any occasion! Since I made this my kids keep asking when we can have it again!
While you’re outside enjoying this fun drink, why not have some fun with reusable water balloons?!
