Introduction

Gummy Bear Fizz is a playful and refreshing mocktail that combines the sweetness of gummy bears with the bright flavors of fresh fruit and fizzy soda. Perfect for parties or a fun family treat, this colorful drink is as delightful to watch as it is to sip.

Ingredients

Gummy bears on skewers (for a fun presentation)
Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon)
Sugar (for sugar-rimmed glasses)
Fruit juice (your choice)
Lemon-lime soda
Club soda or sparkling water
Lemon juice (for rimming the glasses)

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 sparkling rim, dip the rim of each glass in lemon juice, then coat with sugar.
Step 2: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice and lemon-lime soda. Stir in club soda or sparkling water to add extra fizz.
Step 3: Pour the fizzy mixture carefully over the gummy bears in the prepared glasses. Watch as the gummy bears float and absorb the drink’s flavors.
Step 4: Garnish with additional gummy bears on a skewer or floating on top. Serve with a straw and enjoy the lively, fruity fizz!

Tips & Variations

For a sweeter drink, use fruit juices like pineapple or apple. For a tart twist, try cranberry or pomegranate juice.
Add fresh mint leaves or basil for an herbal note that complements the sweetness.
Use different flavored gummy candies for varied tastes and colors.
Prepare the juice and sodas ahead and keep chilled; add gummy bears right before serving to keep them firm.

Storage

You can store the mixed fruit juice and sodas (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid adding gummy bears until just before serving, as they will soften and lose texture if left overnight. To reheat or serve again, stir gently before pouring into glasses with fresh gummy bears.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other candies instead of gummy bears?

Yes, chewy candies like gummy worms or sour belts can work well, but avoid candies that dissolve quickly in liquid.

How can I make this drink more festive?

Try sugaring the rims of your glasses and using colorful fruit slices or edible flowers as garnish to brighten up the presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink Base

1 cup fruit juice (orange, pineapple, or apple juice works well)
1 cup lemon-lime soda
½ cup club soda or sparkling water

For Garnish and Presentation

About ¼ cup gummy bears per glass
Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon), sliced thinly
Sugar, for rimming the glasses
Juice of 1 lemon, for dipping the rim
Skewers for extra gummy bears

Instructions

Prepare the Glasses: Add approximately ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. For a decorative touch, moisten the rim of each glass by dipping it into lemon juice, then immediately dip the rim into sugar to create a sparkling sugar-coated edge.
Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to blend. Then add the club soda or sparkling water for added fizz and mix lightly again.
Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Carefully pour the sparkling mixture into each prepared glass over the gummy bears. Observe as the gummy bears begin to float and swirl, absorbing the flavors and creating a playful fizz effect.
Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with additional gummy bears threaded on a skewer or floating on top for a whimsical look. Add a straw and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, fizzy candy-infused mocktail.

Notes

You can prepare the juice and soda mixture in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours; add gummy bears only right before serving to prevent them from dissolving too fast.
For parties, triple the recipe and serve in a large drink dispenser, with gummy bears in separate bowls so guests can customize their drinks.
Leftover drinks with gummy bears should be consumed promptly as gummy bears get soft if left overnight.
Sugar rims add a festive sparkle and extra sweetness but can be omitted if preferred.
