If you’re looking for a sweet twist on cocktails the next time you’re having a party, spice things up by serving up sour gummy candy as part of your drink recipes! Not only will it add a pop of color and a little pucker to your drinks, but it’ll be a fun way to get your guests buzzing about their favorite candies as they enjoy the party! Try these two recipes:
Sour Patch Jelly Shots: Lay out a number of plastic party shot glasses and place a few Sour Patch Kids candies into the bottom of each glass. Pour 1 cup boiling water into a measuring cup and stir in a packaged gelatin flavor of your choosing. Whisk in an additional 1 cup of vodka. Pour the gelatin mix into each of the shot glasses and refrigerate until set. Serve with another sour gummy candy on top or a bit of whipped cream.
Sour Watermelon Slush: Soak ¼ cup of watermelon sour gummy candy in about 1 cup of vodka overnight. Make sure to reserve the soaking liquid! Then, in a blender, add some of the candy infused vodka with lemon lime soda, lemonade, and pink food coloring (optional), as well as some ice. Create a blend that’s to your taste. Blend to combine then pour into glasses. Garnish with sour watermelon gummy candy and serve.
Both of these candy cocktails are sure to be a hit!
