This White Gummy Bear Shot is sweet, delicious, and made with just a handful of ingredients. Garnish with a white gummy bear to up the cute factor!

These Gummy Bear Shots taste just like a childhood favorite: white gummy bear candies! Indulge in a little nostalgia while you toss one of these shots back. These would be perfect at a bachelorette party, holiday, or at any party! What's a celebration without shots, anyway?

What is a Gummy Bear Shot?

A Gummy Bear Shot is a shot or shooter that tastes like a gummy bear candy! But, more specifically, you should be asking:

Why is it called a White Gummy Bear Shot?

It's called a White Gummy Bear Shot because the flavor is reminiscent of white gummy bear candies (think fruity, tropical flavors). The fact that the shot itself is white/clear, also really highlights the resemblance to the sweet, fruity candy.

Ingredients

This shot only requires the use of a handful of ingredients. You'll need...

• Raspberry vodka: When looking for a raspberry vodka, there's no need to break the bank. Something middle of the road will do just fine (I often reach for Smirnoff or Pinnacle). Whatever you use, make sure that it's clear (i.e., if you use a homemade raspberry vodka that's red from the berries, you won't end up with a clear shot).
• Peach schnapps: Ahh, schnapps... In the U.S., schnapps are a group of sweetened liqueurs that come in a wide variety of flavors. Just like with the raspberry vodka, make sure that your peach schnapps are clear, so that you end up with a clear shot.
• Sour mix: This recipe calls for a bit of sour mix (sometimes called sweet and sour mix). You can use store bought or make your own. The homemade version is SO much better than the store bought, bottled stuff.
• Lemon lime soda: Use whatever you prefer. I tend to reach for Sprite.
• Garnish: Optional, but you can garnish your shot with a white gummy bear. I took a paring knife and cut a little slit into the bottom of mine, so that it could kind of straddle the rim of my shot glasses.

How do you make a Gummy Bear Shot?

There's no layering or anything involved, so this is a pretty simple shot to make.

You'll start out by adding your vodka, schnapps, sour mix, and lemon lime soda to a cocktail shaker with ice.

Shake shake shake until it's cold, and strain your shot into your shot glass. If you want to add a little extra cute factor to your shot, you can garnish it with a white gummy bear candy. Totally optional, though.
