Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  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 balance the sweetness.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
