How to Make This Shark Drink
See the recipe card below for a complete list of ingredients and measurements.
Start by adding ice into the cup. Then add a shark gummy, and then more ice. The ice is going to help hold the gummy sharks in place.
Feel free to add as many gummies as you want to the drink. I recommend using a clear glass, so you can see the gummies.
Now, add in some of the blue Gatorade, then top with some of the 7Up. Add a straw and serve up this delicious drink.
How to Make This Into A Shark Attack Cocktail
Make the drink as directed, then add an ounce of Malibu rum or vodka. Or if you want a stronger drink, then go right ahead and add a bit extra.

Helpful Tips and Variations To Recipe
- Grab a larger pitcher to make this into a shark punch to serve up a crowd.
- You can make this drink in advance, just don’t add in the ice, or gummies until right before serving.
- After you have your drink ready, add in some red Gatorade or even Rose’s Grenadine to add a splash of red to the drink to look like blood.
- Use sugar-free or regular Gatorade or Powerade.
- Any lemon-lime flavored drink works great for this drink.
- If you don’t want to use soda, reach for Bubly water for carbonation.
Recipe FAQs
Here are a few common questions that you might find being asked when making this shark bite drink recipe.
I have found the shark gummies at Dollar General, grocery stores like Walmart, Target, etc. Or, if you want, shop on Amazon and have them delivered right to your doorstep. I find the blue shark gummies add a fun twist to this drink. Plus, the kids will love getting to nibble on the gummies as they drink down the drink.
If you are worried about your drink getting watered down from ice, I have a few tips to help you! These are helpful tips you can use when you make any drink. Make sure to refrigerate and chill the ingredients in the drink. That way, it is cold to start. It will melt the ice a lot slower. Buy re-usable ice cubes with an outer layer, so they don’t melt and release water into your drink the way classic ice does. Then wash and freeze the cubes and re-use them. Freeze some of the Gatorade into ice cubes. So as the Gatorade ice cubes melt, they will not water down the drink, and it will just add more flavor.
Torani has a Blue Curacao flavored syrup you can use. You will add just a splash of this into the drink and then top it off with the lemon-lime soda. It is a concentrated syrup that will add sweetness and blue color to the drink. This will work great for this shark attack drink.

This is the cutest thing that I’ve seen today! My cousin (who isn’t a kid anymore) and I used to celebrate Shake Week when we were teens – we’d just hangout and watch Discovery Chanel. A few times our parents made shark-related treats so we could properly “celebrate.” We’re in our 30’s now and we live thousand of miles away – I can’t wait to tell her about the Shark Bite Drink! We might even Zoom and recreate this while on videocall. Thank you for this jaw-some reminder, it’s truly nostalgic!
