Introduction

Gummy Bear Fizz is a playful and refreshing drink that combines fruity flavors with a fun candy twist. Perfect for parties or a delightful treat, this fizzy beverage brings gummy bears to life in a sparkling, colorful way.

Ingredients

½ cup gummy bears (plus extra for garnish)
1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
1 cup fruit juice (choose your favorite)
½ cup club soda or sparkling water
Ice cubes (optional, to keep it extra chilled)
Optional garnishes:
- Gummy bears on skewers
- Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
- Sugar for rimming glasses

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the glasses by adding about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If desired, dip the rim of the glass in lemon juice and then in sugar for a sparkling, decorative touch.
Step 2: In a large cup or small pitcher, mix the fruit juice and lemon-lime soda. Stir in the club soda or sparkling water to add extra fizz.
Step 3: Pour the mixture over the gummy bears in each prepared glass. Watch as the gummy bears float and swirl, soaking up the flavors of the drink.
Step 4: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top. Serve with a straw and enjoy the fizzy, fruity delight.

Tips & Variations

Choose Haribo classic gummy bears for a firm texture that holds well in liquid without becoming too soft quickly. For extra fruity flavors, try Albanese gummy bears.
Use Sprite for a sweeter, candy-like fizz, or Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water for a lighter, less sweet option.
Mix different fruit juices such as mango, cranberry, pineapple, or blue raspberry punch to customize the flavor profile.
For a fun presentation, rim glasses with sugar and add fresh citrus slices alongside gummy bears on skewers.

Storage

Store the mixed juice and soda (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too quickly. When ready to serve, stir well and pour over fresh gummy bears.

FAQs

Can I use other types of candy instead of gummy bears?

Yes, but gummy bears work best because they hold their shape and add a fun, chewy texture. Softer candies may dissolve quickly in the soda.

How can I make this drink less sweet?

Substitute the lemon-lime soda with sparkling water or a less sweet sparkling beverage like Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water. You can also adjust the fruit juice amount or choose less sweet juices.
