    Shark Bite Drink

    Summer days can look like many things, but there is one thing adults are most likely dreaming about. Sitting by the pool or ocean with our feet up and a drink in hand.

    Thankfully, this shark bite drink with spiced rum can help you easily accomplish just that.

    What is great about this Summer cocktail, is that the spiced rum or light rum is not the only thing adding a little "bite." The cute little sharks really do take this delicious drink over the top. 

    I love the taste of this recipe and with no grenadine, it's just a lemony-fruit punch goodness. You will be sipping away at this tasty cocktail faster than you can change into your swimsuit.

    For those making the alcoholic drink version. I recommend adding 1-2 ounces of vodka and the soda to the cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake, and then serving over the shark gummies.

    Alternative Shark Cocktail Recipes

    There are many alternative ingredients that you can use to change up this recipe. A simple one is to add a few drops of grenadine syrup to the top before serving. It gives it a blood effect. 🙂 Strawberry syrup also works great as an alternative "appearance of blood" in your drink

    If you are looking for more ocean water effect drinks, then you can use blue curacao or blue Gatorade. Add ½ ounce to your recipe.

    Others prefer to replace the lemon-lime soda with orange juice, pineapple juice, or sour mix. We like the soda, but it's all a preference.

    There are also lots of different alcohols you can add to this shark bite drink recipe to make it a shark attack cocktail. Changing out the vodka for coconut rum, tequila, or flavored vodka like vanilla vodka.

    Last but not least, the sharks gummies can absolutely be changed out with Swedish fish, fun shark ice cube trays, or even placing a plastic shark in your glass. We love the idea of making a blue shark out of ice with these trays and

    Drink shark bite! Cheers to a great drink and or delicious cocktails!

    Ways to Share this Shark Bite Drink with Others

    Fun Colorful Drink

    If you're really interested in sharing this tasty cocktail with family and friends, a nice outdoor BBQ or a dip in the pool is the perfect setting to do so. Since this drink recipe is so simple and easy to make, there's literally no reason why you can't make up about a dozen or so and spend the day lounging around with some of your besties. 

    Just because you are an adult, it does not mean that you can't have fun this Summer. One of the perks of being an adult just so happens to be that you can enjoy delicious and tasty cocktails just like this one.

    Get your cool cocktail glass ready and do not forget to add in the sharks! This sweet cocktail will be a sipper that will be gone before you know it! (I'd go ahead and just double the recipe from the start - it's really that good!)

    Cheers to a tasty summer, my friends!
