LĒVO's gummy mixes give you the flavor, color, and structure of a finished gummy in one bag. All you add is liquid and your infused oil. This LĒVO gummy mix flavor guide runs through every base in the lineup, what each one tastes like, and what it pairs best with, whether you're matching it to a fruit juice, a botanical infusion, or another mix. Use it to pick your next batch, or as a starting point for building your own combinations.
How Gummy Flavor Pairing Works
Every infused gummy has two flavor layers. The mix sets the base: the fruit flavor, the sweetness, and the color. The infused oil carries whatever botanical you've chosen. MCT oil is the standard carrier for all of these mixes because it's flavorless and lets the fruit lead, but you can infuse a botanical into that oil first to add another dimension.
Two simple rules make pairing easy. Match intensity, so a bold mix can carry a stronger botanical while a delicate one needs a lighter touch. Use bright, tart flavors to balance earthy botanicals, since a tangy base hides the herbal notes of something like ashwagandha far better than a mild one. One more trick worth noting: swap the water in any recipe for juice, and you push the fruit flavor further while covering any lingering herbal taste.
Bold Fruit Gummy Flavors
These lead with ripe, punchy fruit and stand up well to stronger add-ins.
-
Tart Cherry: Deep and tangy, the most versatile base in the lineup. It pairs with almost anything and does especially well with earthy botanicals. It's the base of the cherry echinacea gummy worms.
-
Raspberry: Sweet-tart and creamy, with a soft berry finish. It carries bright botanicals nicely and is the base in the butterfly pea flower gummies.
-
Watermelon: Light, sweet, and summery. Best kept simple, or paired with a splash of lime.
Bright, Citrus, and Tropical Mixes
Tangy and aromatic, these are the best maskers for earthy or functional botanicals.
-
Passion Fruit: Tart, floral, and intensely tropical, one of the boldest bases you can pick. It masks earthy notes well and is the base in the passion fruit ashwagandha gummies.
-
Strawberry Lemonade: Sweet-tart and refreshing, an easy crowd-pleaser that pairs with almost any light botanical.
-
Blueberry Lemonade: Bright and berry-forward with a citrus lift. Good with floral or berry pairings.
-
Tropical Peach: Soft, juicy, and mellow. Pleasant on its own or nudged brighter with a little citrus juice.
-
Orange Creamsicle: Creamy citrus with a nostalgic, dessert-like edge. Bridges the fruity and dessert categories.
Sweet and Dessert Gummy Flavors
Rounder and sweeter, these lean toward candy and dessert flavors.
-
Grape Soda: Bright, fizzy, and nostalgic, with a pop of purple. It's the base in the lavender vanilla grape gummies.
-
Frosted Marshmallow: Soft, sweet, and vanilla-forward. A good canvas for warm, dessert-leaning botanicals like vanilla.
Sugar-Free Gummy Mix Options
Three of the most popular bases come in sugar-free versions with the same flavor: Strawberry Lemonade, Tart Cherry, and Raspberry. They pair exactly like their full-sugar counterparts, so any combination in this guide works with the sugar-free base too.
Limited Edition Flavors

Combining Two Mixes for Custom Flavors
You aren't limited to one base at a time. Because the mixes share the same format, you can blend two to invent your own flavor. Peach-Raspberry and Cherry-Peach are two easy, reliable starting points, but any two bases that taste good together will work. Start with a roughly even split, then adjust to taste on your next batch.
You can also keep two mixes separate and layer them for two-toned gummies, which works especially well in the gummy worm molds. Combining mixes is a simple way to soften a bold base or brighten a mild one before you even reach for a botanical.
Pairing Your Mix with a Specialty Herb
To add a botanical, infuse it into your MCT oil first, then blend that oil into your chosen mix. A few pairings to start with:
-
Butterfly Pea Flower is prized for color and has a mild, slightly earthy flavor, so it sits well under bright fruit like raspberry or passion fruit. See it in the butterfly pea flower gummies. You can shop butterfly pea flower here.
-
Ashwagandha is an earthy root, so it needs a bold, tart base to balance it. Passion fruit is the natural match, as in the passion fruit ashwagandha gummies. Shop ashwagandha root here.
-
Echinacea pairs well with a deep, tangy base like tart cherry, as in the cherry echinacea gummy worms.
Whatever botanical you choose, use a culinary- or food-grade version, and check the best infusing time and temperature before you start.
