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 (mango juice recommended; alternatives: cranberry juice, pineapple juice, blue raspberry punch)
- 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
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 then into sugar to create a sparkly sugar rim for extra presentation flair.
- Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine 1 cup of your chosen fruit juice with 1 cup lemon-lime soda. Stir in ½ cup club soda or sparkling water to add extra fizz and balance the sweetness.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed beverage into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears float, swirl, and begin to absorb the flavors of the fizzy drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top along with fresh fruit slices if using. Serve immediately with a straw for a bubbly, fruity, candy-inspired experience.
Notes
- Use Haribo gummy bears for best texture as they hold up well in liquid without becoming too soft too quickly.
- Substitute Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water for a less sweet and lighter version of the drink.
- Prepare the juice and soda mixture ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving.
- For parties, make a larger batch in a drink dispenser and offer gummy bears separately so guests can customize their drink.
- Ice cubes are optional but recommended to keep the drink extra chilled without diluting the flavors significantly.
