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 (mango, cranberry, pineapple, 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 (for fun presentation)
  • 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’d like a sugar rim, dip the rim of the glass in lemon juice and then into sugar to create a sparkly edge for an extra festive look.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice of your choice with lemon-lime soda. Stir in club soda or sparkling water to add an extra fizz that balances the sweetness and keeps the drink light and bubbly.
  3. Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed juice and soda blend into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears begin to float and swirl, absorbing the flavors of the fizzy drink while creating a whimsical visual effect.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating atop the drink. Serve with a straw to enjoy the fizzy, fruity, candy-infused delight immediately.

Notes

  • Use Haribo classic gummy bears for the best texture in liquid, as they hold up well without becoming too soft too quickly.
  • For a sweeter drink, use Sprite; for a lighter, less sweet option, use Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water instead of lemon-lime soda.
  • Prepare the juice and soda mixture in advance and refrigerate, adding gummy bears only just before serving to keep them from dissolving.
  • To batch for parties, multiply ingredients accordingly and serve from a large dispenser with gummy bears on the side for guests to add as they like.
  • Store mixed juice and soda (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; gummy bears will soften quickly if left in the drink too long.
