These tasty Shark Week themed drinks are just the thrist quencher you need for a shark birthday or to stir up a tray of Shark themed cocktails for a viewing party for the greatest week of tv all year long!
A shark themed party needs to have some great shark themed drinks.
Whether you are throwing a summer pool party or a jawsome birthday party for the ultimate shark lover, fun drinks will add to the overall feel and decor of the party.
Most of the suggested ocean-themed drinks are family-friendly meaning they do not have alcohol, but we definitely have some great shark themed alcoholic drinks as well.
A few tips to make drink delivery easier for everyone;
- Invest in reusable plastic cups. Glass near the pool is never a good idea and by having reusable cups (with guests’ names) you can cut down on waste at the party.
- Have a large water dispenser available at all times. If you have guests in the sun they’ll want to have easy access to plenty of cold water.
- An ice bucket is your friend. An insulated ice bucket full of ice with a scoop is great so guests can get as much ice as they’d like.
Speaking of ice, for an extra fun shock, use this shark fin ice cube tray to make the perfect floating shark fins in any drink!
It’s also a good idea to have one “signature” drink for your party and then supplement with other items like water or purchased beverages that are available. This gives guests a range of options and let’s you relax a bit too.
Check out all of these top shark themed drinks for your upcoming shark birthday or for some fierce Shark Week cocktails/mocktails!
The Best Shark Week Themed Drinks to Keep Your Shark Party Guests Happy
These drinks are super easy to make and kids love them. You can make them for your guests or set up all the items and let them make and mix them by themselves.
Baby Shark Slushies Mocktail (Plus Cocktail version for the Adults!)
Is this a drink or a dessert? A slushie is the perfect summer pool party treat no matter how you look at it.
This recipe lets you make a cocktail for the adults or mocktail for kids. You’ll just need a blender and ice to make it happen!
For a lemony summer treat these mocktails will hit the spot. They’re another very easy option that looks cool too!
Another drink/dessert option are these shark floats. Fanta berry soda is the star of the drink while vanilla ice cream brings the float aspect to the drink. Pick up some gummy shark snacks that can be added to the glasses as well.
For older kids or adults a shark mocktail complete with a shark “squirting blood” is going to be a party hit.
You could even float these into a punch bowl and create a lagoon. Just fish out the shark for your drink!
Freeze shark gummies in an ice cube tray and add them to regular water or lemonade for a fun drink idea.
A fun drink to make and easily adaptable for an adult beverage too!
Use your tall party glasses for this drink (away from the pool). The “blood” is strawberry syrup – or grenadine would work too – and the rest is special blue ocean juice.
This is an awesome drink idea if you want something you can fill up in a self-serving cooler.
Mix a bunch in advance, keep the ice close and let guests serve themselves.
Need to grab some hollow sharks for drinks or table decor? These ones are great!
