Raspberry Vodka: A sweet and fruity flavored vodka with a delicious raspberry flavor. You can also use cherry vodka for this recipe. There are different vodka brands, but any raspberry, cherry, or fruity flavor will work.
Peach Liqueur: Peach schnapps or peach liqueur will work for this recipe. The peach adds a sweet and smooth flavor with notes of honey and spice.
Apple Cider: The apples add more flavor depth and fruity flavor to these shots. We use organic apple cider, but you can also use pure apple juice too.
Pineapple Juice: Adds tropical flavors to the shots you taste in gummy bears. It gives the shots a sweet and tangy flavor and complements all of the flavors in this recipe.
Gummy Bears: It’s important to serve these shots with gummy bears. You can drop one into the bottom of the shot glass, clip one onto the side, add a few to a cocktail pick and serve the shot with that.
