Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup gummy bears (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup fruit juice (mango, cranberry, pineapple, or blue raspberry punch recommended)
- ½ cup club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Optional Garnishes
- Gummy bears on skewers
- Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
- Sugar for rimming glasses
- Lemon juice for dipping rims
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If desired, dip the rim of the glass in lemon juice and then dip it in sugar to create a sparkling sugar rim for a fun presentation.
- Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine 1 cup of fruit juice with 1 cup of lemon-lime soda. Stir in ½ cup of club soda or sparkling water to add extra fizz and balance the sweetness.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed drink over the gummy bears in each prepared glass. Observe as the gummy bears float and gently swirl while soaking up the flavors and fizz of the drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top, and add a straw. Serve immediately for the best fizzy, fruity, candy-infused experience.
Notes
- Use Haribo classic gummy bears for the best texture; they hold up well without becoming too soft too quickly.
- For a sweeter drink, use Sprite as the lemon-lime soda; for a lighter, less sweet option, use Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
- Mix the juice and soda in advance and refrigerate; add gummy bears right before serving to avoid them dissolving.
- To serve a crowd, triple the recipe and use a large drink dispenser with gummy bears on the side for guests.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruit juice flavors to customize the drink to your taste.
