Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 1 cup fruit juice (such as orange or mixed fruit juice)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water
For the Garnish
- ¼ cup gummy bears per glass
- Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
- Sugar for rimming glasses
- Lemon juice (for rimming glasses)
- Additional gummy bears on skewers for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If desired, create sugar rims by dipping the glass rims first in lemon juice and then in sugar to add a sparkly 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.
- Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the fizzy mixture carefully into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears float, swirl, and begin to absorb the flavors of the drink.
- Serve and Enjoy: Add additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top for a festive presentation. Serve with straws and enjoy the refreshing, candy-infused fizz!
Notes
- Prep in advance by mixing the juice and sodas and storing them in the refrigerator; add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too quickly.
- For parties, triple the recipe and serve in a large beverage dispenser, offering gummy bears separately so guests can add them as desired.
- The pre-mixed juice and soda can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but gummy bears should be added fresh as they get very soft if left overnight.
- Customize by experimenting with different fruit juice bases or soda varieties for unique flavor combinations.
