Watermark Bar, a watering hole and event venue on New York's Hudson River waterfront, has recently introduced a new cocktail called 'The Siren.' For those who enjoy a large drink with some festive flair, The Siren's song will be impossible to resist, as the 114 ounce cocktail comes in a giant teal mug shaped like a mermaid.

Watermark Bar's specialty cocktail isn't designed for a single drinker. It comes with several silly straws, encouraging patrons to [share it among their party](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cygnet-77-martini-duet). As for its contents, The Siren is a [frozen margarita](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millionaire-margarita) mixed with sangria. It's garnished with mermaid-appropriate accouterments like edible glitter, sugared oranges, and edible orchids, and it's further decorated with a pinwheel and a sparkler. Clearly, Watermark Bar had [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-cocktail) in mind when its bartenders thought up The Siren.
