Fishbowl drink recipes are to the cocktail what sheet pan meals are to the culinary world: it's all about the least amount of dishes without losing any of the flavors. Don't stress if you're not one to keep a giant fishbowl on hand, as you can always substitute small pitchers, big bowls, or something else of your choosing (what about that cool vase?) that could hold enough of that liquid magic.
