🦈 Shark Attack Party Punch – A Bold & Bubbly Drink for Your JAW-some Birthday Theme

When I was creating the JAW-some Shark Party Theme, I knew I wanted a drink that felt like a wow moment. Something easy to make, totally over-the-top in the best way, and a perfect match for the bold energy of a shark-themed birthday.

A "Remember when Katie threw that shark party with those crazy drinks?!"   Those are the comments I live for and fuel me to do what I do! 

Plastic cups filled with blue punch, each containing a red gummy shark and a red syringe with red liquid. Some drinks also have striped straws. Cups are displayed on a white stand with a teal backdrop. Perfect for a Jaw-some party theme!

That’s where this idea came in:
Shark Attack Party Punch 💙

🧃 How to Make Shark Attack Punch

Ingredients:

  • 1 gallon Blue Hawaiian Punch

  • 2L Starry lemon-lime soda

  • Ice

  • Gummy sharks

  • Cherry lemonade mixture (from Sonic packets + water)

  • Syringes

Instructions:

  1. Make the “Shark Attack” Syringes
    Mix the Sonic cherry limeade packets with cold water and fill your syringes. Store them in the fridge until party time.

  2. Mix the Blue Punch
    Combine the Blue Hawaiian Punch and Starry in a large pitcher. Pour into ice-filled clear cups.

  3. Add the Finishing Touches
    Float one filled syringe in each cup and add a gummy shark or two for garnish. Let the kids “inject” the red cherry lemonade right before drinking for that perfect shark attack swirl.

🍹 Want a Grown-Up Twist?

If you're throwing a mixed-age party or want a version for the adults, here’s a fun upgrade:

  • Swap the soda for Prosecco or sparkling rosé

  • Or mix citrus vodka with soda water as a bubbly base

  • Keep the cherry lemonade syringe for the same visual effect

You can even set up a mini "adult bar" next to the kid-friendly version and let your guests mix their own!


📸 Styling Tips

  • Use a tray lined with sea-themed paper or a mini net for extra flair

  • Garnish with extra gummies or red sugar on the rim for a “bloody bite” look

  • Pair with matching shark-themed snacks like fin cupcakes or Jell-O ocean cups
