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
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Optional Garnishes

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If you want to create a sugar rim, dip the rim of each glass into lemon juice, then dip it into sugar to add a sparkling effect.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice with the lemon-lime soda. Stir in the club soda or sparkling water to give the drink extra fizzy bubbles.
  3. Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed liquid into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Watch as the gummy bears float, swirl, and begin to soak up the flavors of the drink.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Add a few more gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top for added fun and garnish with fresh fruit slices if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy your fizzy, sweet, and fruity candy-inspired drink!

Notes

  • For a sweeter drink, use Sprite as the lemon-lime soda. For a lighter, less sweet option, use Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
  • To keep gummy bears from dissolving too quickly, add them just before serving, especially if making ahead or batching for parties.
  • You can prep the juice and soda mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Gummy bears left soaking in the drink for too long will become soft, so add them fresh when ready to serve.
  • Try different fruit juice combinations to customize the flavor, such as tropical mango or tangy cranberry.
