GUMMY BEAR VODKA

Here’s a fun one! This infusion is unique: depending on the time you allow your bears to infuse for you may be left with the bears only and very little liquid. As the bears absorb the vodka they swell turning into drunken gummy bears. Try serving these on a platter or as a cocktail garnish at your next party.

25 oz. vodka

2 cups gummy bears

1. Place gummy bears in bottom of infusion jar. You may also skewer them with space in between each bear and place them upright in the jar.

2. Add vodka and seal the jar.

3. Let infuse for at least 3 days out of direct sunlight, gently shaking regularly.

4. When the bears start to look plump remove one for tasting and continue daily until the desired amount of vodka has seeped in.

5. Strain what’s left of the spirit into a clean bottle and cap. Store the bears in a sealed container.

Try finding gummy bears from your local candy shop as they tend to be softer and fresher.
