Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup gummy bears (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup fruit juice (choose your favorite: mango, cranberry, pineapple, or blue raspberry punch)
- ½ cup club soda or sparkling water (optional, for extra fizz)
- Ice cubes (optional, to keep it extra chilled)
Optional Garnishes
- Gummy bears on skewers
- Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
- Sugar for rimming glasses
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If desired, dip the rim of each glass in lemon juice and then in sugar to create a sugar-rimmed effect for a fun and sparkly presentation.
- Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine 1 cup of your chosen fruit juice with 1 cup of lemon-lime soda. Stir in ½ cup of club soda or sparkling water to add extra bubbles and balance the sweetness of the drink.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed drink over the gummy bears in each glass. Observe as the gummy bears float, swirl, and begin to absorb the delicious fruity flavors of the beverage.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enhance the presentation by adding a few gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top of the drink. Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy this fizzy, fruity, candy-infused delight!
Notes
- Use Haribo classic gummy bears for the best texture in the drink as they hold up well without dissolving too quickly.
- For a sweeter taste, use Sprite; for a lighter, less sweet fizz, opt for Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
- Mix the juice and soda base ahead of time and refrigerate, but add gummy bears right before serving to keep their texture intact.
- To serve a crowd, triple the recipe and use a large drink dispenser, providing gummy bears on the side for guests to add themselves.
- Add ice cubes if you prefer your drink extra chilled, though it may dilute the fizz slightly.
