This Non-Alcoholic Grape Jolly Rancher Moonshine is a fun, fizzy mocktail inspired by the famous candy drink. It combines melted Grape Jolly Ranchers with grape juice, lemon-lime soda, and sparkling water to create a sweet, colorful, and refreshing beverage everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15–20 Grape Jolly Rancher candies
  • 2 cups 100% grape juice (chilled)
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves or grape slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Unwrap the Grape Jolly Rancher candies and place them in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of grape juice.
  2. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the candies are fully melted (about 5–7 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and let the candy syrup cool for 10–15 minutes.
  4. Pour the syrup into a large jar or pitcher. Add the remaining grape juice, lemon juice, and honey (if using), and stir well.
  5. Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda and sparkling water, stirring gently to combine without losing fizz.
  6. Fill glasses or mason jars with ice cubes and pour the drink over them.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint or grape slices and serve immediately for best flavor and sparkle.

Notes

  • Chill all ingredients before mixing to maintain fizz and freshness.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or soda to taste.
  • Do not overheat the candy mixture; use low heat to prevent burning.
  • Serve in clear glasses or mason jars for a fun, colorful presentation.
  • The candy syrup can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
