Ingredient Notes
*full ingredients list and measurements can be found in recipe card below*
- Raspberry vodka: Either Absolute raspberry vodka or Smirnoff are my favorites to use in this shot
- Peach Schnapps: I've found that DeKuyper is the best brand to use
- Sour mix: You can either make your own or buy it from the store. Both work well!
- Pineapple juice: The pineapple juice adds a fun tropical flavor that pairs well with the peach and raspberry flavors!
- Gummy bears: It wouldn't be a gummy bear shot without them! Grab a variety pack for a bunch of fun colors or use a color scheme if you're celebrating a holiday or special event!

What Does This Shot Taste Like?
This gummy bear shot tastes fun and fruity! It has raspberry vodka, peach schnapps, and a sour mix which has lemon and lime flavorings.
I'd liken it to tasting like you've just chewed on an assortment of different colored gummy bears! (hence the name!)
Aleka's Tips
- Make your own sour mix: Many times the store-bought sour mix is full of preservatives, so you could make your own at home with better ingredients
- Add simple syrup: If the gummy bear shot isn't sweet enough for you, try adding a splash of this strawberry simple syrup
- Sugar the rim: Make your shots fancy by adding a sugared rim to your glasses
- Switch up the alcohol: Have fun trying different combinations of fruit alcohol. Use peach or strawberry vodka or a different fruit flavored schnapps. Just keep the amounts the same!
- Make it fizzy: Substitute the pineapple juice with lemon lime soda for a fizzy twist!
Recipe Variations
- Make with gummy worms instead (just don't accidently grab the sour ones!)
- Gummy sharks are a fun twist if you live near the beach
- Scale the recipe up to make a big batch for a crowd
Frequently Asked Questions
1 ounce of vodka is 40% alcohol, plus the Peach Schnapps does make this gummy bear shot fairly strong.
This recipe makes 1 shot, but you can easily scale the recipe up if you're serving a crowd.
I highly recommend using a cocktail shaker, but in the event that you don't have one you can mix the shot up in a Mason jar with a lid.
You can set out leftover gummy bears for your guests to snack on, or get creative and turn them into vodka gummy bears!
