White Gummy Bear Shot Recipe

Ingredients for a White Gummy Bear Shot

Let’s take a look at the tasty ingredients that make this shot such a hit. It’s a sweet, fruity mix that’ll remind us of our favorite candy. Here’s how we bring it all together.

Raspberry Vodka

We start with raspberry vodka as the base. It adds a sweet, slightly tart kick that sets the tone for the shot. We like using brands like Absolut Raspberri or Smirnoff Raspberry for their smooth, fruity flavor.

If raspberry vodka isn’t available, no problem. We can swap it out for cherry or pineapple vodka, which still gives us that fruity punch we’re going for. The key is to choose a vodka that nails that gummy bear vibe.

Peach Schnapps

Next comes peach schnapps, the ingredient that gives our shot its juicy and candy-like sweetness. It pairs perfectly with raspberry vodka, creating the ideal fruity combo.

No peach schnapps? Don’t worry, we’ve got options. Use triple sec, peach juice, or even peach-flavored vodka instead. The goal is that sweet and peachy taste that makes this drink taste like a white gummy bear.

Sweet and Sour Mix

To balance out the sweetness, we add a splash of sweet and sour mix. It brings a tangy and citrusy kick that keeps the flavors lively and exciting.

If you are feeling crafty, making your own mix at home is super easy. Just combine equal parts lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup, then mix it all together. If you are short on time, fresh lime juice combined with simple syrup works just as well.

Lemon-Lime Soda

To finish it off, we add a splash of lemon-lime soda for some bubbles. It lightens up the drink and makes it extra refreshing. Sprite or 7Up are great choices, but any lemon-lime soda will work. You could even use a citrus soda like Squirt or sparkling water with a dash of lemon juice.

The fizz is what makes this shot fun to drink. It really is like candy in liquid form.

White Gummy Bears

Finally, we cannot forget the star of the show, white gummy bears. They are not just a garnish because they tie the whole shot together and add a playful touch.

You can skewer them on cocktail sticks, let them float in the glass, or place them on the rim for a fun presentation. If white gummy bears are hard to find, that is no big deal. Gummy worms or any gummy candy you have on hand will work just as well.

How to Make a White Gummy Bear Shot

Let’s make this sweet and fruity shooter that tastes just like candy. We’ll need a few simple ingredients: raspberry vodka, peach schnapps, sweet and sour mix, and lemon-lime soda.

We’ll start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice to get everything chilled and ready. Next, we’ll pour in 1 ounce of raspberry vodka, half an ounce of peach schnapps, and half an ounce of sweet and sour mix.

Now comes the fun part. We’ll shake the cocktail shaker for about 10 to 15 seconds to mix everything together and make sure it is nice and cold. This step is what gives us that smooth, well-blended shot.

Once we’ve shaken it up, we’ll strain the mixture into a shot glass. To give it a little fizz, we’ll add a splash of lemon-lime soda, about half an ounce, right on top.

For a finishing touch, we’ll garnish the glass with a white gummy bear on the rim. If we are feeling extra fun, we can drop one into the shot for a sweet surprise at the bottom.

The full recipe card with exact measurements and steps is just below. Now let’s grab our glasses and enjoy a White Gummy Bear Shot together. Cheers!

Fun Variations to Try

We love getting creative with our White Gummy Bear Shot recipe, and there are so many fun ways to mix things up. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

If you are a fan of strawberries, try swapping the raspberry vodka for strawberry vodka. It gives the shot a slightly different fruity twist, and it is just as delicious.

For an extra touch of sweetness, we like to rim our shot glasses with sugar. It adds a little crunch and pairs perfectly with the drink’s candy-like flavors.

On a hot day, blending the ingredients with ice transforms the shot into a refreshing slushy treat. It is like a grown-up slushie that is perfect for summer parties.

If we are feeling fancy, we turn this into a martini by adjusting the proportions and serving it in a martini glass. It adds an elegant vibe without losing the fun.

For easy party treats, we use the same ingredients to make jello shots with raspberry gelatin. These are always a crowd favorite at gatherings.

We also have a non-alcoholic version for anyone skipping the booze. We simply replace the vodka and schnapps with peach and raspberry juices.

This recipe is so versatile, and that is part of the fun. It is easy to switch things up, try new flavors, and make it your own.

The most important thing is to enjoy the process. Get creative, have fun, and do not be afraid to try out your own ideas. Who knows, you might just discover your new favorite twist!
