Drink Base
- ½ cup gummy bears (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup fruit juice (choose your favorite, such as mango juice, 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)
- Lemon juice (for rimming glasses)
- Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If desired, create a sugar rim by dipping the rim of each glass into lemon juice, then into sugar to add a sparkly, festive touch.
- 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 balance the sweetness.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the mixed liquid into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears float, swirl, and begin to absorb the flavors of the fizzy drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on the surface for extra fun. Serve with a straw and enjoy the sweet, fizzy, colorful delight!
Notes
- Use Haribo classic gummy bears for the best texture—they hold up well in liquid without becoming too soft too quickly.
- For a sweeter drink, use lemon-lime soda like Sprite; for a lighter, less sweet version, substitute with Perrier Lemon Sparkling Water.
- Prepare the juice and soda mixture ahead of time and refrigerate; add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too fast.
- Batch the recipe for parties by tripling it and serving in a large dispenser with gummy bears available on the side for guests to add.
- Store mixed juice and soda (without gummy bears) in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
