This Gummy Bear Cocktail recipe creates a boozy frozen blended beverage that tastes like the chewy, teddy-bear shaped candy. Each frozen slushy sip is sweetly spiked and filled with 3 colorful layers of crushed ice and fruity flavors.
Gummy Bear Alcoholic Drink
Gummy Bear Cocktails are colorful, fruity, and dangerously drinkable, especially when they taste sweet enough to forget that they’re made with 3 types of alcohol.
Break out the blender because this layered libation only takes 5 minutes to make and is the perfect excuse to act like a kid while consuming a candy-flavored cocktail like an adult.
Using frozen fruit, daiquiri mix, juice, plus plenty of triple sec, rum, and blue curacao, this refreshing boozy gummy bear slushie recipe is so simple to prepare and the perfect addition to any party.
Layered frozen drinks are always fun for sipping during hot summer days; when you add a little liquor to the mix, you’ve made it even more mischievous!

Substitutions and Additions
- Drunken Gummy Bear Drink: It is easy to booze up your bears and make this a Drunken Gummy Bear Drink! Simply place the gummy bears in glass container and pour in enough vodka to completely cover the candy. Allow them to absorb the vodka for up to 24 hours depending on strong you want them to be. Then they are ready to skewer and garnish your glass.
- Create Your Own Colored Creation: You can customize your drink with almost any gummy bear flavors you like. The secret to creating layers is the sugar content. The thickest fluids have the highest sugar content and will sink to the bottom. The liquid with the lowest sugar content will remain on top of the liquid with a higher sugar content.
Recommended Tools
- Blender
- Cocktail skewers
- 2 (10 oz.) highball glasses

Jump to RecipeHow to Make Gummy Bear Drinks
- Make The Red Layer: Blend the ice, frozen strawberries, strawberry daiquiri mix, and triple sec liqueur until smooth. Pour half the red mixture into the bottom of each glass.
- Make The Yellow Layer: Blend the ice, frozen pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and malibu rum until smooth.
Pro Tip: Rinse your blender container with cool water before adding the ingredients for the yellow layer. Pour the yellow mixture over each of the red layers. You can use a large spoon to gently add this layer so that you do not blend the colors too much. - Make The Blue Layer: Blend the ice and blue curacao until smooth. Pour the blue mixture to the top of each gummy bear cocktail.
- Serve: Garnish with a cocktail skewer of a variety of colored gummy bears. Enjoy!
Tip From Our Recipe Developer
- If you want your layers to be a little more blended (not completely combined) you can use a straw to gently stir your gummy bear cocktail. This will give a subtle look to the changing colored layers.
- I used (2) 10 oz. capacity highball glasses for this recipe.
- If you have an extra blender container, I would use it so that you do not have to take the time to rinse between the red and yellow layers. You do not have to wash the container, just a good rinse in cool water will do.
Storage
- To Store: This drink is best served immediately after blending.
