How to Make Vodka Gummy Bears Feb 15th 2013, 12:00 Soaking gummy bears in vodka creates an adult twist on a popular snack, and some mighty tipsy bears! You can also use other gummy candies, like worms, in the recipe. And just like people, expect the bears to swell slightly as they soak up that vodka. (Expect the bears to have a hangover the next day, too.) Edit Ingredients Servings: 2 to 4 - 1 5-oz. (140g) package gummy bears
- Vodka
- Place the gummy bears into a glass bowl.
- Pour just enough vodka into the bowl to cover the gummy bears completely.
- Cover the bowl in plastic wrap. Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator. Allow the gummy bears to infuse for 2 days.
- Taste a piece of the candy on the second day. Decide if it has sufficient vodka flavor for your liking. If not, then allow the candies to soak for an additional day.
- Remove the gummy bears from the bowl using a slotted spoon, if needed. The gummy bears will have absorbed most, if not all, of the vodka.
- Serve the gummy bears immediately. If you have a little bit of leftover vodka, then simply pour the vodka into a glass if you want to drink it. Otherwise, discard the vodka––whatever is left over will not be of a quality you'll want to use for mixed drinks.
- Depending on the brand of gummy bears, you may need to jiggle the soaking bears every now and then to prevent them sticking together too much.
- Keep the soaked bears in the fridge if not serving immediately. Keep covered, to prevent fridge smells from spoiling the party.
- You can use flavored vodka to provide a little more variety to this recipe. Citrus flavored vodka, for instance, works well with this infusion.
- Infuse cane spirits with the gummy bears, and you can call them "Rummy Bears".
- Other gummy candies can be used, such as gummy worms.
Edit Warnings - Vodka soaked gummy bears will produce an effect in the body quickly. They have a very high BAC (Bear Alcohol Content). Pace yourself while eating them.
- You get no points for eating a gummy worm at the bottom of a bottle of tequila.
- Obviously, these are not candies for kids. Keep them well away (the kids, not the candies).
