Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup gummy bears (plus extra for garnish) – Haribo classic recommended
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup fruit juice (mango juice for tropical flavor recommended; alternatives: cranberry juice, pineapple juice, 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
Instructions
- 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 sparkling, sugar-rimmed effect.
- 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 for extra fizz.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed beverage into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears float and swirl, absorbing the flavors and creating a fun visual effect.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top. Serve with a straw and enjoy the bubbly, candy-infused drink.
Notes
- Use Haribo gummy bears as they hold their shape best without becoming too soft quickly.
- For a sweeter taste, use Sprite; for a lighter, less sweet version, use Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
- Prep the juice and soda mixture in advance and add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving.
- For parties, make a triple batch in a drink dispenser and let guests add gummy bears themselves from small bowls.
- Store the juice and soda mixture (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
