Fish Bowl

With the Super Bowl coming up, everyone (including me) is in a frenzy trying to prepare a slew of creative appetizers.  So much so that I very often overlook a good cocktail.

It's easy to throw BYOB on your invitations and expect a bunch of six-packs to come lounging through your door in preparation for the big game, but having a big punch bowl full of something fruity and creative is a great way to get people together for a little pre-game fun.

This recipe is, undoubtedly, more for the ladies' section of your party.  The ones who likely (maybe) don't do the beer-guzzling, even on Super Bowl Sunday.  Plus, it's eye-catching which always makes people want to drink up.

I usually save this drink for the summertime.  Fitting, since the fishbowl and the bright colors are reminiscent of warm weather, unfrozen water and beaches.  But, as this drink is always a hit, I thought that I might as well give it a shot in February.

It's definitely a conversation-starter and gets everybody in the party mood.

Give it a try at your next party!
