🔍 FAQs

Do I have to use the shark gummy?

No. You can leave it off, or put any other type of gummy on top. Even a Swedish fish would work.

Can I substitute something for the spiced rum?

Sure! Vodka is great and changes the greenish-blue water to more of a pure blue.

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert tips

  • Go slow with the grenadine. You just need a few drops.
  • If the kids want one (they will!), serve them blue Kool-aid and top with the same gruesome scene.
  • Don’t serve this to actual shark attack victims. 😉
