Method
Base & Fruit
Combine juices
In a cocktail shaker or large jar, pour 1 cup white grape juice, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup sweet-and-sour mix (or lemon-lime soda if you want fizz) and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. If using soda, add it after shaking to preserve carbonation.
Shake
Add a handful of crushed ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker, secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled. If using a jar, cover and shake firmly.
Shark Effect & Color
Prepare glass
Fill a tall glass with the remaining crushed ice (about 1 cup) leaving room for the drink and garnishes.
Layer the 'shark'
Strain the shaken juice mixture into the prepared glass over the ice, leaving about 1/2 inch at the top. Spoon 2 teaspoons coconut cream in the center of the drink; it will create a small white cloud that reads like a little 'white shark' body.
Create the attack
Slowly drizzle 1 teaspoon blue curaçao syrup down one side of the glass so it sinks and creates blue streaking like ocean water. Then, very carefully drop 1 teaspoon of non-alcoholic creme de cassis (or grenadine, if you prefer red-tinged 'attack' color) near the top so it sinks slightly and gives a dramatic accent near the 'shark.' The syrups will form colorful veins around the coconut cloud.
Garnish & Finish
Add the shark
Place one gummy shark on the rim or gently rest it on top of the coconut cream so it appears to be engaging the 'shark' cloud. Add a lime wheel to the rim and optionally tuck a mint sprig behind the lime for aroma.
Serve immediately with a short straw so drinkers can stir if they want more color mixing. Makes a playful, underage-friendly mocktail perfect for themed parties or family-friendly surf events.
