Drunken Gummies and Jolly Rancher Flavored Vodka

What better way to celebrate a 21^st birthday (or any birthday, for that matter) than by giving a gift that is unique AND can be shared with all your friends?

A few weeks ago, my friends and I made vodka infused gummy bears and jolly rancher flavored vodka for our friend’s birthday…and it was such a hit!!

What you’ll need:

1. Mason Jars

            - a pack of 12 from Shoprite is $10

2. Vodka

            -Smirnoff typically costs $

3. Gummy Bears

4. Jolly Ranchers

(and about 5 days time to let the gummies and jolly ranchers soak)

Directions:

For Gummies –

1. Fill mason jars 3/4 of the way with gummies (you want to leave the gummy bears      room to expand)

2. Pour in vodka until it reaches the top of the candy

3. Seal jars, and let them soak in the fridge for 5 days before serving (but be sure to stir gummies on day 3)

For Jolly Rancher Vodka –

1. Separate jolly ranchers by color

2. Put 15 jolly ranchers of the same color in each mason jar

3. Fill with vodka

4. Let soak for a day (or five, if you’re waiting for the gummies)
