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, such as 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 it extra chilled)

Optional Garnishes

  • Gummy bears on skewers
  • Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
  • Sugar for rimming glasses
  • Lemon juice (for sugar rim)

Instructions

  1. 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 in sugar to create a sparkly sugar rim for a festive presentation.
  2. 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 lighten the sweetness of the drink.
  3. Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixture over the gummy bears in the prepared glasses. Watch as the gummy bears begin to float and swirl, soaking up the flavors while adding a playful visual effect to your drink.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top, add a straw, and serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy, fruity, candy-infused delight.

Notes

  • Use Haribo classic gummy bears for the best texture—they hold up well without dissolving too quickly.
  • For a sweeter drink, use Sprite as the lemon-lime soda; for a lighter, less sweet version, substitute with Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
  • Prepare the juice and soda mixture ahead of time and refrigerate, adding gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • To serve at parties, triple the recipe and use a large drink dispenser; offer gummy bears on the side for guests to add as they like.
  • Adding ice cubes is optional and can help keep the drink extra chilled without diluting the flavors too much.
