But hold on to your taste buds, ’cause I’m about to introduce you to the Limeade Gummy Float. It’s fruity, it’s fizzy, it’s like a summer carnival in a glass.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: you’re at the grocery store, and you’ve got your shopping list, but then you see lime juice and coconut water and suddenly it’s a *whole* vibe. You need these:
– 1 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed, please! No bottled stuff!)
– 1 cup coconut water (the one that’s like drinking summer)
– 1/2 cup sugar (sweet, sweet magic)
– 2 cups sparkling water (because bubbles!)
– 1/4 cup Vegan Gelatin (my plant-based friends rejoice!)
– 1 cup gummy candies (gotta be lime-flavored, duh)
– 1 cup chocolate almond milk (trust me on this one)
– Lime slices (for garnishing and looking fancy)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Alright, so here’s the scoop. I whipped this up one day when I was feeling extra adventurous after binge-watching some cooking show. 😂 My friends came over, and we were just lounging in the sun… And I thought, “What if I mix my love for limeade with my obsession for gummy candies?” BOOM! Limeade Gummy Float was born. Everyone went nuts over it. Like, I might’ve had to make a second batch because the first one disappeared in like, 10 minutes. It became our go-to summer drink. Now, every time it’s hot outside, I’m like, “Limeade Gummy Float time!”

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

Okay, listen up! The magic happens when you bloom the Vegan Gelatin. It’s like giving it a spa day before it joins the party. Just mix it with cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes. You’ll thank me later when your float doesn’t turn into a hot mess. 😅

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skip the lime zest! It adds that zing! If you’re feeling fancy, toss some in before pouring the mixture into the mold.
2. Check the sugar level. If you’re feeling rebellious, you can reduce the sugar a bit. But don’t go too far, or it’ll taste like sadness.
3. Refrigerate long enough! Seriously, don’t rush it. Let it chill for at least 2-3 hours. You want it set, not like a soup!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if by some miracle you have leftovers (which, let’s be honest, is rare), pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for a couple of days. Just make sure to have a spoon ready—’cause you’ll want to snack on them whenever! 😂

Pour the mixture into a mold or a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
Once the lime gelatin is set, cut it into small cubes or desired shapes.
In serving glasses, layer the lime gelatin cubes and gummy candies.
Pour sparkling water over the gelatin and gummy layers, filling the glasses to the top.
Finally, drizzle chocolate almond milk over each float for a creamy finish.
Garnish with lime slices and serve immediately.
