With spring in full gear, it is time to begin thinking of
new items for your bar or restaurant summer menu. What better way to take
advantage of warmer temperatures than with refreshing
plastic fish bowl drinks? This beverage is large enough to fill
even the thirstiest patron and it looks beautiful when served in a clear or
colorful plastic container.
Fish bowl cocktails include a little bit of everything.
There are many versions but all include several types of alcohol and some type
of fruit or fruit juice. Flavored rum, Schnapps, liqueur, lemon-lime soft drink,
pineapple juice, lemons, limes, oranges, and ice are common ingredients. Some
versions even include delicious gummy fish.
With this drink, the appearance is almost as important as
the taste. Add a few drink umbrellas, shiny streamers on a stick, and two curly
straws so patrons can share with a friend. You can even add a small wooden
fisherman casting his string line into the bowl to land the big catch. Patrons
will want to take a photo of this masterpiece before they begin drinking.
The container is what puts this drink over the top so do not
be afraid to get bold. Order clear round or drum fish bowls and have them silk screened with a one-color
version of your establishment logo and a cute saying like, “I landed the Big
One at…” and the name of your establishment. Sell these containers as souvenirs
for a night of partying at the best spot in town.
If restaurateurs and bar owners really want to be unique,
they can order fishbowls tinted in custom colors. No other establishment in
town, or maybe even the country, will be serving drinks in these beauties! This
is a great way for a new establishment to get on the map. Diners and bar
patrons will be pounding down the door to get their hands on the delicious
drinks in the attractive containers.
