What is Swedish Fish?
The Swedish Fish cocktail is a fun, candy-inspired mix that captures the sweet and fruity flavor of the classic gummy candy. With citrus vodka bringing a sharp base, grenadine offering deep red-hued sweetness, cherry schnapps giving bright cherry kick, and raspberry liqueur layering in berry complexity-this drink wears its candy-house roots proudly. It’s vibrant, playful, and an easy crowd-pleaser.
Because the drink’s flavor profile leans into sweetness and fruit, it’s ideal for nights when you want something lighthearted, colorful and memorable. The grenadine creates that red-candy aesthetic, while the mix of schnapps and raspberry liqueur elevates the sweetness into cocktail territory-not just shot territory. It’s perfect for themed nights, casual get-togethers, or anyone who loves nostalgia with a boozy twist.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
