Unleash the vibrant colors and flavors of Jolly Ranchers in this unique and fun Jolly Rancher Vodka recipe – perfect for sipping, creating cocktails, or adding a splash of excitement to any party!
Are you ready to take your taste buds on a wild ride? Say hello to Jolly Rancher infused vodka - a delightful concoction that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of classic Jolly Ranchers with the smoothness of vodka.
This fun and colorful drink is perfect for livening up your next gathering or simply enjoying a vibrant sip all by yourself.
They also make one of our favorite party shots to serve that guests just go crazy for, much like our colorful pool party jell shots.
Ingredients
Jolly Ranchers: The star of the show, these hard candies bring their fruity, sweet, and tart flavors to the mix, creating a truly unique taste sensation. We used a few different colors to create different tasting infused vodka.
The flavors we used included: Blue raspberry, green apple, cherry and grape.
Vodka: A versatile and neutral base that allows the bold flavors of the Jolly Ranchers to shine through. We used absolut vodka, which is one of my favorite types of vodka, but you can use your favorite brand.
Instructions
Begin your flavor adventure by separating your jolly ranchers by flavor. We'll be making a few different flavors of vodka this way.
Next, unwrap the Jolly Ranchers and place them at the bottom of a 16-ounce Mason jar, like they're eagerly waiting to dive into a pool of vodka.
Gently pour the vodka into the jar, filling it up to the edge where the threads start (where the lid screws on). It's time for the Jolly Ranchers to take the plunge!
Find a cool, dry spot for your concoction to rest for one week, or until the Jolly Ranchers have completely dissolved, like they've become one with the vodka.
Make sure after a couple of days, give your mixture a good shake to encourage the flavors to mingle together.
Once ready, either use your Jolly Rancher Vodka immediately or store it in the fridge or pantry for future enjoyment.
How to Use the Jolly Rancher Vodka
You can drink the jolly rancher infused vodka straight as is as jolly rancher shots.
Or create a jolly rancher cocktail by adding 4 oz of the vodka to 4 ounce of sprite or club soda and pour over ice.
You could also use them to make vodka jello shots, frozen drinks or any other fun cocktails you can come up with.
Garnish Ideas
Add some extra flair to your Jolly Rancher Vodka by considering these garnishes:
- Fresh fruit slices: Complement the fruity flavors with slices of lemon, lime, or orange.
- Colorful sugar rim: Dip the rim of your glass in corn syrup, then colored sugar for a dazzling effect.
Top Tips
For a stronger sweeter taste, use more of the Jolly Ranchers. For a lighter, less sweet taste, use fewer candies.
Shake your Jolly Rancher Vodka before each use to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
To guarantee a specific flavor, like cherry or watermelon, consider buying individual bags of those Jolly Ranchers.
