Notes

This mocktail is very sweet. For a less sweet version, use less jellybean powder or skip the rim sugar.

You can swap grape juice for another flavor to match different jellybean types.

For a slushie texture, freeze the grape juice in ice cube trays before blending.

Make sure all guests know there are jellybeans in the drink in case of allergies.

This recipe is fun to make with kids, but an adult should handle any blending or shaking.

Substitute

Can’t find grape jellybeans? No problem! Other flavors work great too. Try cherry, strawberry, or mixed berry jellybeans instead. The fruity taste will still shine through.

For a non-jellybean option, use grape juice. Mix 1/4 cup grape juice with the other ingredients. This gives a similar sweet grape flavor.

Another choice is grape syrup. Add 2 tablespoons of grape syrup to replace the jellybeans. You may need to adjust the amount to taste.

Don’t want artificial grape flavor? Use real grapes! Muddle 1/4 cup fresh grapes in the bottom of the glass before adding other ingredients. This gives a natural grape taste.

For a totally different twist, swap in another fruit. Try blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries. The mocktail will have a new flavor, but still be fruity and fun.

Remember to taste and adjust as needed when using substitutes. The sweetness and flavor may differ slightly from the original recipe.
