Gummy Bear Sangria

Here’s a fun and fruity recipe for Gummy Bear Sangria that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering:

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle (750 ml) of white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
• 1/2 cup brandy
• 2 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water for a less sweet option
• 1 cup gummy bears, plus extra for garnish
• Assorted fruits (such as slices of lemons, limes, oranges, and berries)
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruit:
   • Wash and slice the lemons, limes, and oranges into thin rounds. Halve the berries if they are large.
2. Infuse the Gummy Bears:
   • In a large pitcher, combine the gummy bears and brandy. Let them soak for about 1-2 hours in the refrigerator. This step is crucial as it allows the gummy bears to soak up some of the brandy, infusing it with their flavor and color.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
   • Add the sliced fruits to the pitcher with the infused gummy bears and brandy.
   • Pour the white wine over the fruits and gummy bears.
4. Chill:
   • Let the sangria mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
5. Serve:
   • Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda or sparkling water to the sangria for a refreshing fizz.
   • Add ice to the pitcher or directly to glasses when serving.
   • Garnish each glass with a few extra gummy bears and a slice of fruit.

Tips:

• For a more colorful sangria, you can use a mix of different colored gummy bears.
• If you prefer a sweeter sangria, you can add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweeter white wine.

This Gummy Bear Sangria combines the fun of gummy bears with the sophistication of a classic sangria, making it perfect for parties or casual gatherings. Enjoy your vibrant and playful drink responsibly!
