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
- 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.
