Gummy Bears
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.8 / 5
The Gummy Bears cocktail is a whimsical and fun concoction that marries the familiar flavors of cola with the fruity punch of WKD blue, a brightly colored alcoholic beverage popular in the UK. Served in a pint glass, this playful drink takes its name from the beloved candy, hinting at a sweet, nostalgic taste that's reminiscent of the gummy treats. The blue hue of the WKD combined with the dark tones of the cola creates a visually interesting beverage. Overall, the Gummy Bears cocktail boasts a simplistic approach to mixing, requiring no complex techniques, and appealing to those with a palate for sweet, fizzy drinks that hark back to the flavors of childhood while still offering a touch of alcohol.
