Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink Base

  • 1 cup fruit juice (such as orange, pineapple, or mixed fruit juice)
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda
  • 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water

For Garnish and Presentation

  • Gummy bears, about ¼ cup per glass plus extra for skewers and garnish
  • Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
  • Sugar (for rimming glasses)
  • Lemon juice (for rimming glasses)
  • Straws

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glasses: Add approximately ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If using sugar rims, dip the rim of each glass in lemon juice, then dip it into sugar to create a sparkly edge that adds extra fun and flavor.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice and lemon-lime soda thoroughly. Stir in the club soda or sparkling water gently to maintain the fizz and avoid flattening the mixture.
  3. Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Pour the fizzy mixture into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears float and swirl, absorbing the flavorful liquid and creating a colorful, interactive drink experience.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish the drink with a few more gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top, add a fresh fruit slice if desired, place a straw in the glass, and serve immediately for maximum fizz and fun.

Notes

  • To maintain the gummy bears’ texture, add them just before serving as they soften quickly when soaked.
  • Prep the soda and juice mixture ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, but add gummy bears fresh to keep them firm.
  • For larger gatherings, triple the recipe and serve in a large dispenser, providing gummy bears separately so guests can customize their drinks.
  • Use fresh fruit slices like orange, lemon, or lime for garnish to add a zesty aroma and visual appeal.
