Description

The Gummy Bear Cocktail is a fun and fruity summer drink that combines the sweetness of honey and blueberry preserves with the zestiness of lemon and the refreshing fizz of lemon-flavored soda water. This cocktail features a uniquely sugared and lemon-zested rim, garnished with colorful yellow gummy bears for a playful touch.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar Rim

  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested, plus more for serving

For the Cocktail

  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. blueberry preserves or fruit spread (such as Bonne Maman)
  • 1 oz. vodka
  • 7 oz. lemon-flavored soda water
  • Yellow gummy bears, for serving (optional)
  • 1 honey bear container (honey remaining about 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Honey Mixture: Use or reserve honey from the honey bear container until roughly one teaspoon remains. Add one tablespoon of hot water to the remaining honey and shake well until the honey dissolves completely to create a honey syrup base.
  2. Make the Sugar Rim: In a small shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the lemon zest. Cut a lemon wedge from the zested lemon and rub it around the opening of the honey jar or glass rim. Then dip the rim into the sugar-lemon mixture, coating it evenly to create a flavorful and decorative rim.
  3. Mix the Cocktail: Add the tablespoon of blueberry preserves and one ounce of vodka to the honey mixture. Gently stir together to combine all the flavors smoothly.
  4. Top with Soda: Pour seven ounces of lemon-flavored soda water over the mixture to add a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to blend without losing carbonation.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with yellow gummy bears if desired for a playful, colorful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant gummy bear cocktail.

Notes

  • This cocktail cleverly uses leftover honey stuck in the honey bear container, creating an easy and flavorful sweetener.
  • The lemon-zested sugar rim adds an extra zing and decorative touch that enhances the drink’s presentation.
  • Yellow gummy bears are optional but recommended for added fun and visual appeal.
  • Best served chilled and fresh to maintain the carbonation from the soda water.
