Candy Infused Vodka Recipes

JOLLY RANCHER®-INFUSED VODKA

• Stir sugar into vodka mixture until dissolved.

CANDY CORN INFUSED VODKA

Steps:

• Add candy corn to mason jar. Pour vodka over the top.

• Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to discard any solids.
• Chill if desired and serve straight up, or any other way you dream up.

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.
