What is in a white gummy bear shot?

These tasty drinks are made with a mix of raspberry vodka, peach schnapps, sweet and sour mix, and a splash of lemon lime soda. They are a very easy cocktail to make, and perfect for a night out or ladies night!

What is the White Gummy Bear flavor?

White Haribo gummy bears have a pineapple flavor. So the white gummy bear shot or cocktail has a similar, tropical taste with a delicious blend of peach, raspberry, and citrus.

Gummy Bear Shot Ingredients:

2 ounces Peach schnapps: This peachy clear grain spirit is a versatile ingredient that adds alcohol and flavor to a drink.
2 ounces Raspberry vodka: You can use your preferred vodka brand but make sure it has the raspberry flavor.
1 ounce Sweet and sour mix: Purchase this at a local store or make your own sweet and sour mix at home. It is a simple mix of sugar and water with lemon-lime juice.
½ ounce Lemon-lime soda: Use either Sprite or 7Up.

How to Make a Gummy Bear Shot:

Add the ice to a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.

Pour the peach schnapps directly over the ice.

Next, pour the raspberry vodka, sweet and sour mix, and splash of the lemon-lime soda.

If you are using a glass, mix the drink up with a spoon until everything is fully combined. If you use a cocktail shaker, shake the mixture vigorously for 10-20 seconds.

Pour the drinks into individual shot glasses or enjoy them over ice as a cocktail.

Garnish with white gummy bears if desired!

Variations

Mocktail

For a gummy bear mocktail, add gummy bears to a mix of non-alcoholic beverages. I suggest a combination of peach juice, Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice, and a splash of Sprite with gummy bears for garnish.

White Gummy Bear Cocktail

Pour a gummy bear shot over a cup of ice. Add more sour mix and Sprite and you have yourself a White Gummy Bear Cocktail!

How to Make Alcohol-infused Gummy Bears:

While this recipe uses regular white gummy bears as a garnish, you can elevate your beverage by making boozy bears!

Place the gummy bears in a bowl then fully submerge them in vodka. It does not have to be premium vodka because you will barely taste the alcohol. Allow the bears to sit in the vodka for at least 12 hours at room temperature.

The final result is bigger, chewy alcohol-infused gummy bears! You can use them as a drink garnish, a tasty treat, or even an adult party favor.

FAQ ABOUT WHITE GUMMY BEAR SHOTS

What alcohol is good with gummy bears?

I used the classic vodka and gummy bear combination because it has a light flavor and it is tasty. But coconut rum would also pair well with white gummy bears specifically, to play up that sweet tropical flavor.

Are alcohol-infused gummy bears strong?

While it is unlikely, the longer you let the gummies soak, the stronger they will be. It is also easy to eat handfuls of gummy bears so be mindful of how many you consume. Enjoy responsibly!
