Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1/2 cup gummy bears assorted flavors
  • 2 cups carbonated lemonade or lemon-lime soda
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup water optional, for diluting sweetness

Equipment

  • 2 drinking glasses
  • Large spoon for stirring
  • Measuring cup
  • small bowl

Method
 

  1. Gather two clean drinking glasses, a large spoon, a measuring cup, and a small bowl.
  2. Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes, about 1/2 cup per glass.
  3. Pour 1 cup of carbonated lemonade or lemon-lime soda into each glass over the ice.
  4. Divide the gummy bears evenly between the two glasses, adding about 1/4 cup to each.
  5. Gently stir each drink for 30 seconds with a spoon to submerge the gummy bears and mix flavors.
  6. If desired, add 2 tablespoons of water to each glass to dilute the sweetness and stir again.
  7. Let the drinks rest for 1 minute at room temperature to allow gummy bears to partially dissolve.
  8. Taste each drink and adjust by adding more gummy bears for sweetness or more soda for a lighter taste.

Notes

Serve immediately for maximum carbonation and flavor contrast between chewy gummy bears and fizzy liquid.
