Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup gummy bears (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup fruit juice (choose your favorite, e.g., mango juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, or blue raspberry punch)
- ½ cup club soda or sparkling water (optional, for extra fizz)
- Ice cubes (optional, to keep chilled)
Optional Garnishes
- Gummy bears on skewers
- Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
- Sugar for rim
- Lemon juice for sugar rim
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If desired, create a sugar rim by dipping the glass rim in lemon juice, then dipping it in sugar for a sparkly effect.
- Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice and lemon-lime soda. Stir in the club soda or sparkling water if you want extra fizz for a light and bubbly drink.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed beverage into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears start to float, swirl, and soak up the flavors of the fizzy drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with a few more gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top of the drink for a fun presentation. Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy the bubbly, fruity, candy-infused refreshment.
Notes
- Use Haribo classic gummy bears as they hold up best in liquid without getting too soft too quickly.
- For a sweeter taste, use Sprite; for a lighter, less sweet version, choose Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
- Mix juice and soda ahead of time and refrigerate; add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too fast.
- Batch for parties by tripling the recipe and serving from a large dispenser with gummy bears on the side for guests to add themselves.
- Store mixed juice and soda in the fridge up to 24 hours; do not store with gummy bears to prevent them from becoming too soft.
