12 Jolly ranchers in each flavor you want to infuse (that’s 60 Jolly ranchers all together).
Five flasks to pour it in. (About 8.5 ounces)
Optional- a funnel to assist with pouring the vodka into the narrow necks on the flasks.
Optional- something like a plastic sheet or newspaper over your counter
Instructions
Step 1- Sort the Jolly Ranchers
Step 2- Put Jolly Ranchers in flasks. Put twelve
Jolly Ranchers of each flavor into each flask.
Yes, you can put them directly into the flask
instead of into a mixing container. The reason?
Because you’re not going to have to skim anything
out of it, like you do with waxy candies like
Skittles. Every bit of the Jolly Ranchers – which
are mostly corn syrup, sugar, flavorings and
colors – belongs in the final product here. And
that’s why this process is so much easier than a
lot of candy infusions.
Once you’re done, you should have five flasks with
beautiful colored candies in the bottom.
Step 3- Pour the vodka. Next up, you pour the
vodka into the flasks over the candies. Stick a
funnel (optional) into the neck of each flask, and
pour your vodka down it. I filled mine to the top
of the neck.they start taking on the color of the
vodka immediately, as it begins breaking down the
candies. There’s no need to shake them or anything
– just let them sit for about eight to twelve
hours, and all the candy will dissolve completely
with no mess, and nothing stuck to the glass.
Step 4- Chill! Put your flasks into the freezer
and let them chill for a couple of hours. Now
they’re really ready for use.What you have in your
flasks now is nearly pure vodka, so they’re very
strong on the alcohol. The flavors are exactly
what you’d expect- at first, you just taste the
Jolly Ranchers in liquid form, exactly like the
candies always tasted. Then the vodka kicks in
with its characteristic flavorless burn. You can
definitely drink these straight up as flavored
martinis or shooters, and they’re a lot of fun.
You could also mix them into some cocktails.
