4.9 from 147 reviews

Gummy Bear Fizz is a playful and refreshing mocktail featuring gummy bears soaked in a fizzy mix of fruit juice, lemon-lime soda, and sparkling water. Served in sugar-rimmed glasses with fresh fruit slices and gummy bear skewers, this fun and colorful drink is perfect for parties and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
