Liquify Your Gummy Bear With This Gummy Bear Cocktail
It only takes a few seconds on TikTok to find that cute and sassy cocktail that inspires a Friday night in. We’re fans of a good hack, recipes that save time, and using the smallest amounts of leftovers possible to create innovative treat—remember our jam jar cocktail? We also love anything lemon-blueberry and have a feeling you love it just as much. So if you haven’t already made our lemon-blueberry breakfast cake or lemon-blueberry cheesecake bars, it’s time to add to your list. But first, try this quick, easy to make cocktail. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Dissolving the honey:
Honey doesn’t like to dissolve in cold liquids and often turns into a hard mass. Add 1 tablespoon of hot tap water, close the bear, and shake until the honey melts.
The blueberry jam:
We love the ease of using jam from the fridge. You can use wild blueberry preserves like Bonne Maman or blueberry fruit spread. We also made a cocktail with lemon-blueberry simple syrup, which would be a great application here too.
How to serve:
That’s the fun part! Sip the cocktail from the honey bear like you would a bottle of juice or add a straw.
