Restaurateurs are overhauling their drink menus to attract
more diners. We are not just talking drinks for the over-21 crowd but also for
younger diners. Serving
plastic fish
bowl drinks adorned with a drink umbrella and curly straw is enough to make
diners return. These additions are inexpensive ways to give the restaurant a
financial boost.
To get started, order round or drum fish bowls online from a bulk supplier. A one-quart bowl
should be sufficient for two children to share. Adults will prefer this or opt
for a ½-gallon bowl if they will be sharing the drink with friends. It is
difficult for the average person to polish off a drink this large. Include the
drink size in the beverage description so there are no surprises.
Now, decide on some recipes, with non-alcoholic options for
kids. A kid-friendly punch is perfect for serving in these containers. Combine
64-ounce containers of fruit punch and unsweetened pineapple juice and a two-liter
bottle of ginger ale in a large container. Fill individual fish bowls and add
two scoops of orange sherbet to each bowl before serving. Allow ten minutes for
the sherbet to melt, gently stir the drink, and serve.
Alcohol is included in the ingredient list for adult fish
bowl drinks. For a ½-gallon container, pour ½-cup of Nerds candy into the
bottom and add ice to fill the bowl one-quarter of the way. Combine the
following in a separate container: 16 ounces of pineapple juice, 16 ounces of
7-Up or Sprite, six ounces of sweet and sour mix, five ounces each of vodka and
Malibu rum, and three ounces of blue Curacao. Pour this mixture into the fish
bowl, add several Swedish fish and a few lemon, orange, and lime slices.
Another delicious recipe features raspberry rum and Sprite
Remix in a two-to-four or six ratio. Add Swedish fish candies and juice from
several lemon wedges. This refreshing adult cocktail is the perfect summer
drink for diners to enjoy on the outdoor patio of the restaurant. Offering the
beverages in souvenir logo fish bowls is a great way to celebrate happy hour.
Diners will love these drinks at first taste and will order
them each time they return. The beverages can be big moneymakers for any
restaurant, especially those with a fun party atmosphere. Some restaurants are
known for serving these types of drinks and they become the places that large
groups go to spend their cash.
