Jolly Rancher Vodka

Drink, Eat, Be Merry!

 

My husband enjoys his vodka drinks. His most favorite is the Blue Raspberry flavored Vodka.  He will have a beer now and then but Vodka is always number one.  Now the man is not a lush by any means, that is just his drink of choice.

For his birthday this year I knew his gift had to include vodka somehow.  I did some searching around on the Internet and found this website http://mixthatdrink.com/jolly-ranchers-vodka/ .

At first I had planned to make their starburst vodka recipe but I simply did not have enough time to go through all the steps.  Then I found this wonderful recipe for Jolly Rancher Vodka.

The recipe:

8 oz of vodka
12 jolly ranchers
You can make bigger batches just add the correct amount of Jolly Ranchers.

I used 16 oz. canning jars and so I doubled the Jolly Ranchers. Once you have the Jolly Ranchers and vodka together shake them a bit, then let them sit a bit, shake some more, sit some more and wait 24 hours.  By the end of the next day the ranchers were totally melted.  I honestly did not shake them too much. I let them sit for 5 hours and gave them a shake before I went to bed.  then I shook them one more time in the morning and they were pretty much all melted. I imagine the more ranchers you put in the jar the longer it would take.

Here was my finished product.

Who doesn't like a fun label on their drinks. I made the labels myself. If you like the template you can get it here.

 

 

Give it a try! They taste delicious and please let me know how your turned out.  Also, if you ended up trying the starburst or skittles recipe instead.

Enjoy!
