10 Gummy Bear Shots That Are Sweet + Boozy Magic

Sally Jones
Jun 01, 2016

Remember your obsession with gummy bears? Well, the technicolor teddies of our youth that still give us major emoji heart eyes are back in a big, boozy way. Drunken gummies — AKA the liquor-infused variety — are taking over all the feeds, and for good reason. The liquors are delish, and all the cute and crazy gummy shapes — from fish to worms to cherries to cola bottles — are super adorable. You can make ’em for your next 30th birthday party, bachelorette shindig or any weekend. Scroll on for 10 spiked gummy bear shots that will delight everyone at your next part-ay.

1. Classic Vodka Gummy Bears: This is the vodka-infused gummy that takes us back. Simple to make, it calls for just two ingredients: sweets and booze. They are cartoon-cute, to be sure, but beware, ’cause they pack a serious punch! (via Kitchen Mason)

2. Drunken Gummy Bears: These inebriated bears make us want to burst out laughing. They’ve been soaking in vodka for over a week and have swelled up, but kept their shape. Pop them into a vodka martini or serve them up in a candy dish. Or, better yet, keep ’em hanging in the fridge for a quick little nip. (via I Sing in the Kitchen)

3. Gummy Bear Sangria: Remember when you couldn’t decide whether to eat them head or feet first? Our tastes haven’t changed all that much. If you are apt to prefer them wine-soaked these days, you will love this sangria. You could make it with red wine, but white will let the bear colors show through. (via Pepper)

4. Vodka-Infused Gummy Bears in Sangria: This sangria comes in the form of gummies that have presoaked in vodka before taking a dip in the pitcher. Gummy fruit flavors mix incredibly well with real fruit juices and fermented grape. Infuse your candies in the fridge for about three days, or they can be speed-prepped on the countertop at room temperature, if you’re going to need them the same day. (via Molly Yeh)

5. Champagne-Soaked Drunken Gummy Bears: While rose gold is all the rage, these Champagne gummies are super-classy, because they’re steeped in two kinds of Champagne: brut and rosé. The dual infusion deepens their sparkling gold and rose hues. The end result is some seriously posh gummies for your most luxe celebrations. (via The Skinny Fork)

6. Boozy Gummy Bears With Whipped Cream Vodka: If a classic rummy gummy or vodka gummy is too strong for you, you might just fall in love with these whipped cream vodka babies. The mild vanilla flavor pairs well with the fruity taste of gummy candy. Serve them in a glass bowl to show off their little bear shapes. But watch out, ’cause they’re dangerously addictive! (via The Life Jolie)

7. Jack and Coke Bottle Gummies: How cute is this? Little gummy cola bottles are paired with their tastiest mixer. If you like Jack and Coke, you’ll flip for these gummies. Don’t forget the slice of lime for panache. (via 1 Fine Cookie)

8. Rummy Cherries: These cute cherry gummies look and taste delicious soaked in cherry-flavored rum. Cherry-flavored vodka can also work, if you prefer a stronger liquor note. Bonus: Gummies travel better than bottles and make a great conversation starter at your next party. (via Inspired by Charm)

9. Swedish Fish in Gummy Vodka: There is a gummy-flavored vodka, and it pairs well with every shape of gummy. Swedish fish are a treat to the eyes as well as the tastebuds — the colors are perfect for all your summer holiday gatherings. (via Erica’s Sweet Tooth)

10. Vodka Gummy Bear Pops: What’s better than candy infused with vodka? Vodka-infused candy served up in a popsicle. Simply soak your gummy bears in vodka, then place them in popsicle molds and fill with a clear liquid like Sprite, ginger ale or even coconut water. This time machine is taking us back to our carefree past summer vacations at warp speed!

Like these drunken gummies? There’s more. Follow us on Pinterest.

Cher's All In For 'Mamma Mia 3' — & She Wants Meryl Streep Back With Her

Our favorite dancing queens (Meryl Streep included) might be returning to the big screen for a third encore of Mamma Mia! and we’re already rewatching the first two movie musicals in preparation.

In an interview with Deadline in May of 2023, Mamma Mia! franchise creator and producer Judy Craymer said a third movie musical is in "earliest stages." She also shared that she has come up with a way to bring Meryl Streep back again.

"I don't want to over-egg it," she said of the unofficial news, "but I know there's a trilogy there…and I do think Meryl should come back, and if the script is right, she would, I think, because she really loved playing Donna."

"Of course I want to do it," Streep said during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival (via Deadline). Sounds promising to us!

Is Mamma Mia 3 happening?

Universal Pictures

Yes, Mamma Mia 3 is in its early planning stages! Christine Baranski just told The Hollywood Reporter that she's met with producer Judy Kramer, and that Kramer has plans for the third movie. "She gave me the narrative plotline of how it’s going to happen," Baranski says. "That’s all I can say! But, it’s not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Kramer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t put it past Judy Kramer to get everybody back together."

Universal Pictures

A third installation was first mentioned way back in 2020, during a Collider interview with Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried. Seyfried said she was on board — and at the time, she thought the rest of the star-studded cast would be too.

"Listen, every single person in that movie would say yes in a heartbeat because we want to hang out with each other," Seyfried told Collider at the time. "That's what we talked about last time, like did we ever think that we'd end up here again on an Island in Croatia?"

When will Mamma Mia 3 come out?

Universal Pictures

We don't have an official answer about when to expect this highly anticipated sequel. The project is in the "earliest stages," according to creator and producer, Judy Craymer. Cher also revealed to Entertainment Weekly that everyone is "talking about it," but she doesn't "know when they're going to do it."

Has casting information been shared about Mamma Mia 3?

Jonathan Prime/Universal Studios

While nothing's been made official, Amanda Seyfried just said something that made my heart skip a beat. She told ABC News she loves Sabrina Carpenter's music and dropped this admission: "If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I’ll make it happen."

But before she admitted that, the actress said something else that made me raise my eyebrows. "Everybody says it’s gonna happen, but I mean, I haven’t seen a script."

Cher is also eager to return to the beloved franchise and is rooting for Meryl to make an appearance again. "I keep saying, 'Meryl, you've got to come back,'" she said (via Entertainment Weekly). She also said she's told her, "'It'll be fun. You'll have a good time. You'll be able to sing.'"

I don't know what it'll take, but hope someone gets a script in Amanda Seyfried, Cher, and Meryl Streep's hands ASAP!

What is the first Mamma Mia about?

Universal Pictures

The first film follows Donna (Streep) and Sophie (Seyfried) as mother and daughter living on a remote Greek island. When Sophie is about to marry Sky (Dominic Cooper), she sets out to learn who her real father is after discovering it could be one of three men (played by Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, and Colin Firth).

Who does the second Mamma Mia follow?

Universal Pictures / NBCUniversal

Mamma Mia 2takes viewers back to 1979, where young Donna (Lily James) embarks on a series of adventures throughout Europe following her Oxford University graduation. On her journeys, she makes the acquaintances of Harry, Bill and Sam – the latter whom she falls in love with. In the present day, pregnant Sophie dreams of renovating a taverna while reuniting with her mother's old friends and boyfriends on a Greek island island.

TBH, we’re pretty happy that Mamma Mia! is far from over, and we can’t wait to see what the franchise has in store for us next. Stay updated on all the latest entertainment news with Brit + Co.

Paul Mescal Just Accidentally Proved He Always Has Daisy Edgar-Jones Top Of Mind

There's nothing ~normal~ about how much we love Normal People's Paul Mescal & Daisy Edgar-Jones. While it turns out we're not getting a Normal People season 2 (yet), the two actors are starring in some of 2024's biggest blockbusters (Twisters and Gladiator II, namely), and we've been soaking up their presences ever since.

Paul recently exhibited his ongoing friendship with Daisy at the Gladiator II premiere in Los Angeles. While he approached Brittany Broski on the red carpet for an interview, he recognized her from her recent 'Royal Court' interview with Daisy:

"You were with Daisy!" he chimed in excitingly. We just love this power duo!

Enda Bowe/Hulu

Daisy Edgar-Jones also revealed that she's remained incredibly close to Paul Mescal after their time on Hulu's Normal People. "Paul is one of my lifetime best friends," she says. "He’s an incredibly grounded person and I am too, I think, so it’s nice to be able to have those touchstones and those people you can laugh about it with and be lighthearted with. We met when I was 20 and Paul was 22; I’m so excited to see where we’ll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us."

But the coolest thing is that not only is Normal People special for Paul and Daisy, but they've also been able to see the effect of the show on its fans.

"The thing I love people saying the most is, 'It made me contact my ex,'" Daisy continues. "Especially when much older people say, 'I just wanted to reach out to the person I was with when I was 17 just to say you were a big part of my history and thanks for being part of who I am, the tapestry of my life.' And that I really love, because I’m a massive romantic."

Daisy recently revealed they bonded over their training for Twisters and Gladiator II.

"I did running lessons — isn’t that crazy?" she told Variety. "Actually, Paul [Mescal] and I were laughing about it, because he was training for 'Gladiator II' and I was training for 'Twisters,' and obviously he had to be huge and I was like, 'Don’t worry, I’m going to be right up there with you.'"
