For the Drink:
- ¼ cup gummy bears per glass
- 1 cup fruit juice (such as orange, pineapple, or mixed fruit juice)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- ½ cup club soda or sparkling water
For Garnish and Presentation:
- Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
- Sugar (for rimming glasses)
- Juice of 1 lemon (for rimming glasses)
- Additional gummy bears (for skewers and topping)
- Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If using a sugar rim, dip the rim of each glass in lemon juice, then dip it in sugar to create a sparkly, decorative edge.
- 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 to add extra fizz and lightness to the drink.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the fizzy juice mixture over the gummy bears in each prepared glass. Observe as the gummy bears float and swirl, absorbing the flavors and adding a fun visual element to the drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish by adding a few gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top of the drink. Serve each glass with a straw and enjoy the fizzy, fruity, candy-infused delight.
Notes
- Prep in Advance: Mix the juice and sodas ahead of time and refrigerate. Add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too quickly.
- Batching Tip: Triple the recipe for parties and serve in a large dispenser with a ladle. Provide gummy bears separately in small bowls for guests to add as they like.
- Storage: Store the juice and soda mixture (without gummy bears) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avoid storing with gummy bears overnight, as they become very soft.
- Customize with different fruit juices or add fresh fruit slices for vibrant flavor and appearance.
