There was a summer when I couldn’t keep gummy sharks stocked in the pantry—my nieces were obsessed. So, when I planned a beach-themed dinner, I knew I needed a fun drink that matched their energy. That’s how the Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail was born—bright blue, sweet and tropical, with a playful bite of coconut rum and candy garnishes that made everyone giggle. It wasn’t just a drink—it became the centerpiece of our backyard bash.
Now, this Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail is one of my most requested recipes for ocean-themed parties. And if you’ve already loved my Caribbean Cloud Candy Cocktail or sipped the colorful Tropical Galaxy Mocktail, you’re going to adore this one.
The best part? It looks like something from a mermaid’s lagoon but takes minutes to mix. Whether you’re hosting a pool party or just want something fun on a Friday, the Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail is here to make a splash.

Make It Bold: Flavor, Texture & Presentation Tips
The Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail is more than a drink—it’s a statement. That glowing blue swirl and those cheeky gummy sharks do all the talking. But let’s take it up a notch with simple ways to amplify flavor and wow your guests visually.
Add a citrus twist or make it creamy
Want to brighten the cocktail? Add 1–2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice. It sharpens the sweetness and plays beautifully with the coconut rum. Or swap soda for a splash of pineapple juice to bring out a piña colada-style vibe.
If you love cocktails that lean tropical and creamy, like the Coconut Lime Daiquiri Jello Shots, try adding a splash of cream of coconut or a drizzle of vanilla syrup.
Make the shark theme pop
Here’s where you have fun: gummy sharks, sour starfish, even a mini toy diver on the rim if you’re feeling dramatic. Use clear glasses so those ocean layers shine through. Add blue food coloring to the whipped cream for a bubble effect or sprinkle edible glitter for that mermaid touch.
Don’t forget, you can easily turn this into a mocktail for kids by skipping the alcohol and using blue sports drink or soda instead—just like we do with the Kaccha Mango Bite Mojito.Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail.

FAQs About the Bite Me Baby Shark Cocktail
Can I make this non-alcoholic for kids?
Absolutely! Swap the coconut rum for coconut water and the blue curaçao with blue sports drink or soda. It still looks playful and tropical—just like our family-favorite Tropical Galaxy Mocktail.
Where do I buy gummy sharks or sea creatures?
You can find them online or at most grocery and party stores. Look in the candy aisle or baking decoration section.
Is blue curaçao very strong?
Not really! It’s a sweet, orange-flavored liqueur with a mild alcohol content. It adds more color and flavor than booze.
How can I make this drink in larger quantities?
Just multiply everything by the number of servings you want and stir it all together in a punch bowl. Float gummy sharks on top for a fun ocean look—just like we do in our Watermelon Lemon Drop Shots parties.
