Ingredients
  

Mocktail Base
  • 1.5 oz grenadine or red fruit syrup for the bottom layer
  • 1 cup ice cubes crushed or cubed
  • 6 oz lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, chilled
  • 0.5 cup gummy bears red, orange, and yellow preferred

Equipment

  • Tall clear glass
  • Straw

Method
 

  1. Take a tall, clear glass and pour the grenadine (or red fruit syrup) directly into the bottom.
  2. Carefully fill the glass completely to the top with ice cubes, being careful not to splash the syrup up the sides.
  3. Insert a straw into the glass.
  4. Slowly pour the chilled lemon-lime soda over the ice. Pouring gently over the ice helps maintain the separate color layers.
  5. Top the drink with a generous handful of gummy bears, piling them high on top of the ice.
  6. Serve immediately. Stir before drinking to mix the flavors.

Notes

For a less sweet version, substitute the lemon-lime soda with plain or citrus-flavored sparkling water.
