Seven Years of Blue Shark Vodka

7th Anniversary

Seven Years in the Deep

We started in 2019 with a stubborn bet: that a vodka made and marketed with honesty could hold its own beside the giants on the back bar, and that drinkers could tell the difference between a brand that sponsors a cause and one built around it. Seven years of reorders say the bet was sound. Here’s to our 7-year anniversary and the next seven ahead!

Protecting the Sand Tiger Shark

This year, we’re looking beyond the blue. We were founded on a love for the ocean, and that means every shark in it, not just our namesake. The sand tiger is one of the Atlantic’s most vulnerable species, and through our partnership with the Atlantic Shark Institute, protecting it is a focus of our 2026 conservation work.

THE WORLD'S SMOOTHEST VODKA

Our Vodka

Blue Shark Vodka: Inspired by the majestic oceans and the sharks that defend it.

Blue Shark BOttles

THE ORIGINAL “SHARKIE” BOTTLE

This bottle not only holds a hand-blown glass shark inside, but it was the inception for the dream of Blue Shark Vodka. “What if we could put a shark in a vodka bottle like you put a ship in a bottle?” we wondered. It took years of failed prototypes to get it right. These bottles, which Blue Shark Vodka drinkers love to collect, feature a glass shark that we think accurately captures the stunning mystery and elusiveness of the blue shark. Because they are handmade, no two glass blue sharks are the same. This is the most popular Blue Shark bottle and the distillery fills orders for them each week.

3 SHARK 750 ML

Once you fall in love with Blue Shark Vodka and have made it part of your bar, we suggest picking up some of our 750ml bottles. These are the same amount as our original “shark bottle” but have less of an overhead cost to create and, therefore, are more affordable for Blue Shark Vodka drinkers. Stock your bar with this stunning bottle, which features three blue sharks swimming around a shipwreck, all highlighted with a metallic finish.

Pints

Our 375ml pint bottles are the smallest in our Blue Shark Vodka collection with a stunning hand-drawn underwater landscape on the label. While Blue Shark Vodka fans have requested “minis” in the past, but with Blue Shark’s aim to improve the health of the world’s oceans for sharks, the plastic waste would be problematic. Until we can find a way to create glass mini bottles that are recyclable, Blue Shark Vodka is offering these pint bottles made with recyclable glass. These are perfect to stow away in luggage, take to friends as gifts and are totable for all of life’s adventures.

BIG BLUE

The final bottle in our Blue Shark Vodka collection is our Big Blue — a 1.75L bottle doing the most for our bartenders, event planners, and hosts. This larger-than-life bottle features another stunning underwater scene that captures the beauty of the blues. With the largest volume of vodka at a great price, this bottle is perfect for our regular Blue Shark Vodka drinkers, restaurants, bars, and events.

Current & Upcoming Limited Editions

Previous Limited Editions

Clear vodka bottle labeled Blue Shark with an ocean-themed blue label reading 'God Bless America'.

Semiquincentennial

Blue Shark Vodka released this limited-edition bottle in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. The back label artwork, created by in-house artist Elfie Siebenpfeiffer, combines Blue Shark Vodka's commitment to ocean conservation with symbols of American heritage. Within the underwater scene, the White House and Mount Rushmore appear as coral formations within a vibrant reef ecosystem. Hidden throughout the artwork are 25 marine species, celebrating the diversity and beauty of ocean life while reflecting the patriotic spirit of this commemorative release. As part of the bottle's launch, Blue Shark Vodka hosted the "Stars, Stripes & Sea Life Sweepstakes," inviting participants to identify all 25 marine species concealed within the artwork for a chance to win prizes. The interactive challenge highlighted both the creativity of the design and the importance of marine education and conservation. Created as a tribute to both the nation's milestone anniversary and the marine environments Blue Shark Vodka works to protect, the Semiquincentennial Edition represents the intersection of conservation, artistry, and American pride.

Rachel Brooks Bottle

Blue Shark Vodka is proud to introduce scientific illustration and conservation artist Rachel Brooks as our featured 2024 limited edition label artist. Hailing from the United Kingdom, Brooks currently resides in the Scottish Highlands and combines a degree in zoology, countless dives, and her love for both art and marine life into what she terms 'artivism,' combining the terms 'art' with 'activism'. While using art as an essential communication tool to reconnect us to the natural world, she joyfully tells the ocean's story through her beautiful blend of simple, yet modern marine life drawings and illustrates the connectivity of our natural world - both within itself and within ourselves. Highlighting the weird, the wonderful, and all life in between, it is her hope to connect each and every one of us to the sea and the incredible ecosystem beneath the waves.

WYLAND 2.0

We teamed up with ocean muralist Wyland again to create a limited-edition bottle in 2023. The Wyland 2.0 bottle features an oil-painted scene of a blue shark circling an underwater shipwreck, with proceeds from the 750ml bottle benefiting The Wyland Foundation. This foundation’s mission is to provide educational art and marine science programs that inspire the next generation to explore oceans and embrace conservation. Our first partnership with Wyland in 2020 resulted in a sold-out collector’s bottle, and we’re excited to continue supporting his mission.

BE COLORFUL

The Be Colorful bottle was a limited edition release by Blue Shark Vodka, which featured their signature underwater artwork of a Blue Shark and a Pride flag with the message, “Love” imposed inside. The colorful coral reef at the bottom of the seascape was an eye-catching addition.

THE WYLAND BOTTLE

The Wyland bottle was a limited edition release featuring artwork of a stunning Wyland mural, depicting marine life and promoting ocean conservation. Proceeds from every sale supported The Wyland Foundation, which ran educational programs in communities and schools to raise awareness about the importance of preserving marine life and ocean ecosystems. The foundation’s outreach efforts reached millions of people worldwide and made a significant impact in protecting and conserving our oceans.
