How to Serve Fish Bowl Punch

• TRADITIONAL LARGE FISH BOWL: The tropical drink is traditionally served in one large fish bowl as a sharable drink.
• INDIVIDUAL FISH BOWL: Sharing your drink with everyone at the table not your thing? Me either, I recommend providing individual fish bowls. I find mine at Dollar Tree on the vase aisle.
• PLASTIC FISH BOWL: These are great for any out door party. Like a luau party or pool party. Also perfect for little hands. Click here to purchase (not an affiliate link)→SMALL (16 oz) FISH BOWLS
• CLASSIC PUNCH BOWL:  Don’t want to share but want to mix up a big batch for a party? Serve it in a traditional punch bowl with a ladle and keep ice and Swedish fish on the side for guests to make their own fish bowl punch!
• MASON JAR: If you don’t want the added expense of purchasing fish bowls, any clear glass will do in a pinch.

Adult Party Punch Beverage

FISH BOWL COCKTAIL: Turn this fun drink into an adult beverage! To make a cocktail, add vodka and blue curacao to your fish bowl punch and give your guests the feeling of being at bar on a tropical island. You can also use coconut rum.

Fish Bowl Punch Alterations

This sharable punch is made with 7-up and a touch of blue food coloring. But that’s not the only ingredients. You can use an assortment of great ingredients to change up the punch flavor. Below is a list of ingredients to really drive your punch game to the top.

• TROPICAL SYRUPS: Add a touch of the tropics to your punch with a splash of pineapple and coconut syrups. For full sugar syrup I like using Torani for sugar free syrups I like using sugar free syrup. WHY USE SYRUPS INSTEAD OF JUICE? The reason I’m suggesting using the syrup is to preserve the beautiful blue color. Adding pineapple juice will turn your punch a muddy color.
• MINUTE MAID BLUE RASPBERRY JUICE DRINK: A sweet drink with a touch of tart. Great addition to this easy to make punch. Combine with 7-up. Reduces the addition of blue food coloring to a minimal amount.
• BLUE SODA: There are more options than you think. Like Big Blue, Jones Bubblegum, or Frostie Blue Cream Soda. Also add with lemon-lime soda.
• BLUE POWDER DRINK: Change up the flavor and add blue color to your fish bowl drink with these powder options. Jolly Rancher Blue Raspberry, Kool-Aid Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade, Starburst Blue Raspberry, or Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon. Mix in a small amount of warm water to dissolve. Pour into container along with 7-up. You might need to add a few drops of blue food coloring.

CARNIVAL PARTY IDEA!

This is such a cute drink idea for a carnival themed party. It reminds me of my younger years when I would play carnival games. I’m sure you know the one I’m talking about. I would toss a ping pong ball into a small fish bowl and win a goldfish! So it seems appropriate that the drink the kids would enjoy at your carnival themed party would be a fish bowl punch. You can make this punch in individual small fish bowls too.  Like the small plastic fish bowls you get at a carnival with a goldfish.  I chose to do one big drink in a 1 gallon glass fish bowl.

WHAT ICE WORKS BEST FOR THIS BLUE HAWAIIAN PUNCH?

The goal of building the perfect fish bowl is keeping the fish submerged in the punch. To achieve that you’ll need small pieces of ice. Here are a few options if you don’t have a little pellet ice maker. Find a fast food place that uses pellet ice (like Sonic), some quick marts carry pellet ice where the beverage dispenser is located (not in the freezer), or use crushed ice. I used a bag of ice from McDonalds (did you know they sell bags of ice?) and it worked fine. NOTE: I made this BEFORE pellet ice makers at home were a thing.

WHAT FISH BOWL WORKS BEST?

• DRUM STYLE: I prefer the fish bowls that are flat on the front and back. The flat sides help make styling the tank a lot easier than a bowl that is round. I also prefer glass but if you have a hard time finding glass, plastic will work too.

VARITIES OF SWEDISH FISH

These little fish candies come in a variety of flavors and sizes. If you want a large amount of fish in your tank, use the mini Swedish fish. Add an assorted pack to give the illusion of a variety of fish swimming around in your tank. CUSTOMIZE your tanks to coordinated with your color scheme. My only suggestion is to stay away from the blue gummy fish (blue raspberry lemonade).
