Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a fishbowl drink?
A fishbowl drink is an oversized cocktail or mocktail served in a large, round fishbowl-shaped glass, usually intended for sharing. They're popular for parties because they're visually striking and can hold multiple servings of a recipe. This Blood in the Water cocktail, for instance, is a show-stopping cocktail that layers Monin Grenadine Syrup for a dramatic "blood in the water" effect.
2. Can fishbowl drinks be made without alcohol?
Yes, many fishbowl recipes are easy to make as mocktails by simply swapping out the liquor for a zero-proof alcohol alternative, or using non-alcoholic ingredients. The star flavor of this Deep Blue Sea mocktail is Monin Blue Curaçao Syrup and Coconut Syrup rather than spirits, and it's just as refreshing without the alcohol.
3. What ingredients do I need to make a Shark Week fishbowl cocktail?
Most fishbowl recipes combine a flavored syrup, a mixer (like juice, tea, or soda), and an optional spirit. The Mystic Ball Cocktail is a crowd-pleaser that blends up Monin Desert Pear Syrup and Dragon Fruit Syrup with vodka and lemonade for a vibrant, frozen fishbowl drink.
4. How do I get that "blood in the water" effect in a drink?
You can create this effect by slowly pouring grenadine syrup into the drink. It will gently float into the drink and streak, or sink to the bottom, rather than fully mixing into your fishbowl cocktail. Check out this Blood in the Water fishbowl drink to see the effect in action.
5. What's a good spicy option for Shark Week?
If you want something with a kick, the Spicy Agave Fishbowl Chamoyrita balances silver tequila and lime with the sweet heat of Monin Spicy Agave Sweetener and savory chamoy for a bold, Instagram-worthy sip.
6. Are there any tea or boba-based fishbowl drinks?
Yes, the Mega Pink Boba Berry Tea is a creamy, fruity option made with Monin Hibiscus Syrup, Strawberry Syrup, black tea, milk, and tapioca boba, perfect for a girls' night twist on the fishbowl trend.
7. How many people does a fishbowl drink serve?
Since fishbowl glasses are oversized, a single fishbowl typically serves 2–4 people, making them ideal for parties or group gatherings. A recipe like the Mermaid Juice mocktail is easy to scale up or down depending on your fishbowl size and guest count.
