Shark Week | Blood In The Water Shark Drink
It’s Shark Week! Not familiar with Shark Week? “Shark Week is an annual, week-long programming block on the Discovery Channel which normally takes place in July or August. The show originally aired on July 17, 1988, and it’s the longest running cable television event in history and has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the past few years.” {source}
I’ve always been fascinated by sharks and killer whales. Something about how powerful and gorgeous these creatures always interested me, and I could spend hours watching documentaries and movies about sharks. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched the Jaws series.
Over the years, the popularity around Shark Week has grown to become a huge annual event, including people hosting viewing parties, drinking games, themed food and drinks and more. If you’re planning on hosting a party or the kids want to partake in shark week, here’s a fun shark kid-friendly drink to try.
We start with adding ice to tall glasses like the ones mentioned here. Then add 1-ounce of Strawberry syrup.
Next, add 4-ounces of Lemon Lime Soda.
Add one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, then top with one ounce of blue curacao.
This drink is always best to make in front of the kids, so they can watch the color changes happen. They will think it’s pretty cool.
