7UP® Gumdrop Christmas Fizz Recipe

Ingredients for 7UP® Gumdrop Christmas Fizz

Gather these simple ingredients to get started:

• Sherbet: Choose raspberry or lime for vibrant color and flavor.
• Flavored Syrups: Raspberry or lime syrup enhances the taste.
• Whipped Cream: Use canned whipped cream like Reddi Whip® for ease.
• 7UP® or Cherry 7UP®: The star ingredient adds fizz and festive flavor.
• Gumdrops: Skewered for a fun holiday garnish.
• Decorative Straws and Clear Glasses: To showcase the drink’s beautiful layers.

Pour 7Up® or even Canada Dry Ginger Ale® over top. For the lime drinks, I used regular 7Up®. For the red drinks, Cherry 7Up®. Add more whipped cream if desired.

   

Gumdrops on skewers add a fun holiday element, and your guests will be impressed with this simple yet creative drink.
