DIY Jolly Rancher Infused Vodka Gifts, Mixed Drinks, Blue Raspberry,Watermelon, Cinnamon, Cherry, Green Apple, Grape

I started with these flasks https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GWRC65W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and an assortment of Jolly Ranger candy flavors. The first batch contained WATERMELON, BLUE RASPBERRY, CHERRY, GREEN APPLE. The second batch I tried cinnamon, and some other really weird flavors that I don't recommend. They're nasty.

STEP ONE:  I picked out about 8 or 9 jolly rancher candies for each flask.  Other online recipes I've seen do not have this much candy ratio per alcohol volume, but I like mine really sweet. Simply unwrap the candies and put them in the bottles.

STEP TWO:  Pour vodka into the bottles, fill to the top. Any kind of vodka will do.  No need to buy expensive vodka. I normally use a different brand, but pictured is what my husband brought home this time. Like I said, anything will do.

In a very short amount of time, you can already see the vodka taking on the color of the candies. The pictures shown are of different batches with different flavors, but no matter what the flavor you choose, the outcome is the same.

You need about 24 hours for the candies to be completely melted and dissolved.  I've seen other tutorials who say it isn't necessary to shake the bottles. However, I have found that it is necessary. Shake the bottles as often as you can. Otherwise, the candies settle to the bottom and get stuck, and they don't mix well.  Shaking will ensure a more even distribution of the candies in the alcohol.

FINAL STEP:  Put your finished drinks in the freezer. They will not freeze over, but will become very cold. The liquid will become almost syrupy in consistency. Yum!

DRINK as shots or ship shooters straight.  Very sweet. You can hardly taste the alcohol.  
Alternate recipe:  Mix your Jolly Rancher alcohol with cold sprite for a sweet mixed drink! Substitute seltzer water if you want something not as sweet. The jolly ranchers make it sweet enough already, so cut that sweetness by mixing with seltzer water.

​Enjoy!

I am sure that this is an absolute joy for drinkers, especially for those who love experimenting and love drinking alcohol. Honestly, I love the special mixers that you made because it was something different. I hate drinking vodka alone as I love having it mixed with other stuff. I am pretty sure that you can come up with moire exciting mixes but I am hoping that you would still update us regarding this! Just like what you mentioned, it is best to be served iced.

This is an awesome article and very interesting to read. You see, every town around the world should always patronize their own local products and that is why I believe that it is a huge need for us to have local shops for the local people.
