How to Make Vodka-Infused Gummy Bears

From a popular snack, gummy bears (or chip chips) become a unique party treat when soaked in vodka, giving a fun twist to your gathering! You can also try other gummy varieties (such as gummy worms) for this recipe. Just like some people experience swelling from alcohol, these gummy bears will expand once immersed in vodka. This playful snack leaves a buzz after consumption and a lightheaded feeling the following morning.

Serves: 3-4 people

• 140g gummy bears
• Vodka

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Then, place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2 days to let it soak up the vodka.

Test the gummies on the second day. Try one piece to see if the vodka has soaked in enough for your taste. If not, continue soaking the gummies for another day.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the gummies from the bowl (if necessary). The gummy bears should have absorbed most or all of the vodka by now.

Place the gummies on a plate and serve immediately. If there's leftover vodka, you can pour it into a glass and continue drinking. If you don’t plan to drink it, it’s best to discard it rather than saving it for cocktails, as the quality of the drink may be compromised.

• It's best to use a glass bowl, avoid using plastic to store the vodka.
• Depending on the brand of gummies, you might need to shake them occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
• You can use flavored vodka (such as Citrus vodka) to add a fun twist to the recipe.
• Before serving, store the gummies in the fridge. Be sure to cover the bowl tightly, as odors from the fridge can affect the gummies and spoil the party.
• You can replace gummy bears with other gummy candies, like gummy worms.

• Alcohol-soaked gummies can quickly affect your body. Eat in moderation, or you might get drunk.
• Tequila and gummy bears don’t mix well together.
• Since vodka is alcohol, make sure to keep the vodka-infused gummies away from children.
