Introduction

Gummy Bear Fizz is a playful and refreshing drink that combines fizzy soda with sweet gummy bears and fresh fruit slices. Perfect for parties or a fun family treat, this mocktail dazzles with colorful candy and sparkling bubbles.

Ingredients

Gummy bears on skewers (for a fun presentation)
Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
Sugar (for rimming glasses, optional)
Fruit juice (your choice, about 1 cup)
Lemon-lime soda (1 cup)
Club soda or sparkling water (½ cup)
Fresh lemon juice (for rimming glasses, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the glasses by adding about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If you want a sugar rim, dip the rim of each glass in fresh lemon juice, then press it into sugar to coat.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Pour the fizzy mixture gently into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. Watch as they float and start soaking up the flavors.
Step 4: Garnish with a few more gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top. Add fresh fruit slices for color and serve with a straw.

Tips & Variations

To prevent gummy bears from dissolving too quickly, add them just before serving.
Try different fruit juices like pineapple or cranberry for unique flavors.
Rim glasses with colored sugar for an extra festive look.
For a party, serve the mixed drink in a large dispenser and provide gummy bears on the side for guests to customize their drinks.

Storage

Store the mixed fruit juice and soda (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid adding gummy bears until just before serving, as they soften and lose their texture if left overnight.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use alcoholic soda instead of lemon-lime soda?

This recipe is designed as a fun, alcohol-free mocktail, but you can substitute with alcoholic soda if you prefer an adult version. Just be sure to adjust quantities to taste.

What if I don’t have fresh fruit slices for garnish?

Fresh fruit slices add a nice touch, but you can skip them or use frozen fruit or even a colorful straw to keep the presentation lively.

You can prepare the juice and soda mixture up to 24 hours in advance and keep it refrigerated.

Leftover drinks with gummy bears should be consumed promptly, as gummies can become very soft if left overnight.
