This gummy bear shot is a fun drink inspired by a classic candy. Just like a gummy bear, this shot has a subtle sweetness, a bit of fruity flavor, and a vibrant red color.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A GUMMY BEAR SHOT
- Grenadine is just for color! I like the gummy bear shots to be bright red (like a gummy bear) but feel free to skip it if you don’t have any on hand.
- Lemon lime soda adds a bit of effervescence to cut through the strong alcohol flavor in the shot. I like to use Sprite, but feel free to use your favorite brand!
- Make this a mocktail but using: gummy bears, cranberry juice, peach juice and Sprite!
- Infused gummy bears! Take this shot to the next level but infusing your gummy bears in vodka! Simply soak bears overnight or for at least 8 hours at room temperature! I use just enough vodka to cover the bears.
- If you make this in your shaker, do not add soda to the shaker, pour that directly into the glass.
