Fish Bowl Cocktails are the Perfect Promotional Drink for Taverns

Fish bowl cocktails are becoming increasingly popular, especially with party-goers and people under the age of 30. If you're considering adding a fish bowl cocktail to your restaurant or tavern menu, remember that not all fish bowls are good for drinking. Consider these tips and buy your fish bowls accordingly.

1. Some fish bowls are small, others are quite large. A small goldfish bowl is good for two people, but you'll need something larger for groups of three or four, or even groups of five or more.

1. Buy more small-to-medium fish bowls than medium-to-large. Remember that it's more likely you will sell several different fish bowl cocktails to a large table than that you'll have a large table wanting to share just one cocktail between them.

1. Don't automatically assume you should purchase glass fish bowls. In fact, plastic fish bowls are lighter and much less expensive.

1. Some fish bowls have small mouths, and others have mouths located on the side. For fish bowl cocktails, you will want a larger mouth at the top. Since the whole point of a fish bowl cocktail is to accommodate several people drinking from the same container, the mouth must be big enough for several straws at once. A mouth located on the side of the fish bowl is harder to keep a straw in, and diminishes the amount of cocktail that can be poured in, which might irritate patrons.

1. Consider having your tavern or restaurant logo silk screened on the side of the fish bowls. This can be done professionally, often at a rebate. In addition, consider including the fish bowl in the price of the drink, making your fish bowls a take-home promotional item and souvenir of a memorable night spent in your establishment.

Fish bowl drinks are becoming quite popular in taverns and restaurants. Many purchasing agents for large chains and smaller establishments wonder if any old fish bowl will do. As you can see, the answer is clearly no. There are several things you need to keep in mind when you're purchasing fish bowls for a fish bowl cocktail.
