If you need some easy, fruity shots, these are the ones! Whenever I make these White Gummy Bear shots, folks are asking what’s in them before they even finish the first one. They’re fruity with a little fizz, and they really do taste like the candy. You don’t need a bunch of fancy ingredients either. Just shake, pour, and enjoy.

What is a White Gummy Bear Shot?
It's a fun, fruity shot that tastes surprisingly close to the candy it's named after, specifically the pineapple-flavored white gummy bears. It's popular at parties and bars because it's sweet, easy to drink, and doesn't taste strongly of alcohol.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s sweet, fruity, and super smooth—kind of like a pineapple or peach gummy bear with a little tang from the sweet & sour mix.
Absolutely! Just multiply the ingredients by however many shots you need. Mix everything but the Sprite ahead of time, then top each shot with a splash of Sprite right before serving.
Raspberry vodka is what gives it that signature flavor, but if you only have regular vodka, you can add a splash of raspberry syrup or liqueur to make up for it.
You could try apricot or mango liqueur, but peach schnapps really hits that gummy bear flavor best.
It’s a shot, so it’s got alcohol, but it doesn’t taste strong. The vodka is balanced out by all the fruity flavors, so it goes down easy—maybe too easy.
It helps get everything cold and mixed, but if you don’t have one, just use a mason jar or anything with a lid that can handle ice.
Yep! Use raspberry lemonade in place of vodka and peach juice or peach-flavored soda instead of schnapps. Still fun and fruity without the alcohol.
For sure. A little gummy bear on a toothpick makes it cute, or rim the glass with sugar for extra sweetness.
