White Gummy Bear Shot Recipe

Ever wonder what it’s like to drink a gummy bear? Let me introduce you to the White Gummy Bear Shot—it’s fruity, fun, and just might become your new go-to party drink.

The White Gummy Bear Shot is a simple drink that has a very similar taste to the actual candy. It is made with the following ingredients:

– 1/2 ounce raspberry-flavored vodka
– 1/2 ounce peach schnapps
– 1 ounce sweet and sour mix (or just use a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice mixed with simple syrup)
– 1 ounce lemon-lime soda (or just use a splash of it in the cocktail shaker and then pour the rest into the glass after the shot is taken)

To make the shot, fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

Pour in the ingredients, except for the lemon-lime soda. Shake well and strain the mixture into a shot glass.

After the shot is taken, pour in the lemon-lime soda. If you really want to use a garnish, cut a gummy bear in half and place it on the rim of the shot glass.

Pro Tips

1. Chill Your Glassware Before you begin mixing, place your shot glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will keep your shot cold longer and enhance the overall experience.

2. Use Fresh Ice Always use fresh, clean ice cubes for shaking. Old ice can impart off-flavors and odors to your drink.

3. Garnish Creatively Consider adding a fresh raspberry or a small peach wedge to the rim of the shot glass for a decorative touch that complements the flavors.

4. Shake Vigorously Ensure you shake the cocktail shaker vigorously to create a slight froth in the mix, which adds to the texture and presentation of the shot.

5. Experiment with Syrups For a sweeter variation, try adding a splash of simple syrup or raspberry syrup to the mix. It can intensify the fruity flavor of the shot.
