Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink

  • 1 cup fruit juice (such as orange, pineapple, or mixed fruit juice)
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda
  • ½ cup club soda or sparkling water

For Garnish and Presentation

  • ¼ cup gummy bears per glass
  • Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon), for garnish
  • Sugar, for rimming glasses (optional)
  • Lemon juice, for rimming glasses (optional)
  • Gummy bears on skewers, for fun presentation (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If you want a sugar rim, dip the rim of the glass into lemon juice, then into sugar to coat evenly. This adds sparkle and a touch of sweetness to each sip.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice with lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to blend. Then add the club soda or sparkling water to introduce extra fizz and lighten the drink.
  3. Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Carefully pour the juice and soda mixture over the gummy bears in each glass. Observe as the gummy bears begin to float and absorb the flavors, creating colorful swirls and a fun texture to the drink.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with a skewer of gummy bears or add a few gummy bears floating on top. Add a fresh fruit slice to the rim or float it inside for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve with a straw and enjoy the refreshing, candy-infused fizz.

Notes

  • To prep in advance, mix the juice and sodas in a pitcher and refrigerate. Add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too quickly.
  • You can triple the recipe and serve from a large dispenser for parties; offer extra gummy bears on the side for guests to customize their drinks.
  • Store mixed juice and soda (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Gummy bears left in the drink overnight will become very soft, so it’s best to serve fresh.
  • Customize flavors by using different fruit juices or adding fresh herbs like mint or basil for an adult twist.
