1

Mix liquors, sweet-and-sour mix, pineapple juice and soda in a large container. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2

To serve, divide the Nerds® candy between the three fishbowls and place at the bottom of the bowl (like gravel!). Add ice, and arrange the fish around the outsides of the fishbowls, using the ice to hold the fish in place against the glass.
3

Carefully add the punch mixture, dividing equally between bowls. Top each with fruit slices and additional lemon-lime soda (if desired). Serve with straws.
4

Enjoy!

To make this for the kiddos, just leave out the alcohol and replace with more soda.

More About This Recipe

What’s more fun than a giant, yummy, candy-filled drink with a whole lotta straws? This big-batch cocktail recipe is basically a modified Blue Hawaiian, and it's easy to adapt to your tastes by swapping out the coconut rum, or the vodka, or using a fruit-flavored vodka. If you want to make a non-alcoholic version to serve the kids, just substitute more soda for the alcohol. No need to visit a pet store: You can find fishbowls in the floral supply section of craft stores. The Nerds™ candy make adorable faux “gravel,” but their colorful coatings will melt quickly. This could make your Fishbowl Punch appear a little murky, so these are best served immediately.
