Candy Flavored Vodka Recipes

CANDY-INFUSED VODKA

Steps:

• In each canning jar, place one color candies. Pour 1 cup (8 oz) vodka over candy in each jar, making sure candy is completely covered with vodka. Place lids on jars; seal tightly. Shake each jar vigorously 20 seconds. Let stand 3 hours.
• Filter each candy-infused vodka through 1 coffee filter placed over 2-cup glass measuring cup. (This can be a slow process due to the build up of sugar from the candy. It may be necessary to poke a few small holes into the coffee filter for an initial filtration.) Repeat process with a second coffee filter. If after the second filtration a sugar residue remains, filter again or skim with a spoon.
• Carefully pour each infused vodka into separate flask. (If necessary, use funnel.) Refrigerate until ready to use; refrigerate up to 6 months.

JOLLY RANCHER®-INFUSED VODKA

• Stir sugar into vodka mixture until dissolved.

BEST VODKA GUMMIES

Steps:

• Spread candies in a 3-quart baking dish, ensuring none of the candies are stuck together. Pour vodka over candies, spreading candies around and still ensuring none are stuck together. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 to 6 hours.
• Remove plastic wrap from candies. Separate gummy candies from dish using a spatula or your fingers. Cover candies with a new piece of plastic wrap; refrigerate, 4 to 6 hours. Repeat process of separating candies from dish every 4 to 6 hours and replacing plastic wrap until gummies have soaked for a total of 24 hours.

CANDY FLAVORED VODKA

Steps:

• Start by separating each color of Skittle into it's own jar.
• Pour 1.5 cups of vodka into each mason jar. Put a lid on each jar and give it a few shakes.
• Allow to sit for 1-3 days, shake whenever you would like to help dissolve the sugar.
• When ready to use or chill, strain each jar through cheesecloth or an old t-shirt to get the funk out. I strain them into a bowl and pour the contents right back in the Mason jars.
• Red is really good mixed with Club Soda. Yellow/Green/Orange is great with a lemon-lime soda. Purple...well, I'm not a fan. So, um, maybe some grape soda? Or throw it at the most handsome man in your house and scream "Ew, drink it or something. Ugh!" Any way you shake it, Skittle Vodka is glorious. It got me through part of this past winters' blizzard and I'll love it forever.
