4.6 from 130 reviews

Gummy Bear Fizz is a playful, fizzy mocktail featuring chewy gummy bears, fresh fruit slices, and a sparkling blend of fruit juice and soda. Perfect for parties or a fun refreshment, it combines sweet candy and zesty citrus flavors in a sparkling, colorful drink.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
