How to make Vodka Gummy Bears. (Thirsty Thursday)
My candyland bday party is 10 days away & what better thing to serve than gummy bears soaked in alcohol?! I looked online at some different ways to make them & honestly it’s very basic.
1. Put gummy bears in a glass container.
2. Fill the container with vodka so all the gummies are covered.
3. Make sure to seal the container & keep in the fridge for 5-10 days, stirring them every so often.
& that’s it! All the vodka should be soaked up & the gummies should have swelled a bit. I’m using ‘UV Blue’ but regular vodka is fine, as well. You can also add juice concentrate after they’re in the fridge for a few days to give it extra flavor, but that’s really up to you.
Mine are soaking now.. I’ll update this post on how magical they turned out in 10 days!

How to make Skittles Vodka: Thirsty Thursday!
Doesn’t this look magical!!!! Learn how to make it below (:
You’ll need:
Bottle of Vodka (you don’t need the most expensive kind, but avoid the cheapest)
Large bag of Skittles
Instructions:
When making Skittles Vodka you can choose to either use all five of the flavours or to buy several bags of Skittles and separate the flavours or even mix two or three of the flavours to create your own taste. Once you have chosen your flavours the method is always the same:
- Pour off some of the Vodka (down to the shoulder of the bottle should do)
- Add your Skittles to the bottle.
- Replace the cap and shake vigorously.
- It takes several hours of intermittent shaking for the Skittles to completely dissolve (the process can be sped up by putting the bottle in a dishwasher during a wash cycle)
- Once the Skittles have dissolved you should be left with colored Vodka and a layer of scum (or ming) will have formed. This ming must be removed.
- Pour the Skittles Vodka through a sheet of kitchen paper or a coffee filter using a sieve. This will remove the ming and leave nothing but tasty Skittles flavored Vodka.
- Chill till ice cold, serve, enjoy!

Thirsty Thursdays: How-to make a Bomb Pop!
As a tribute to my days at college, I’ve decided to start sharing cute drink recipes every Thursday. I’ve been looking for drinks that actually taste good as opposed to my dear friend long island iced teas. I found this yummy-looking drink at partyrehabb.com. Can’t wait to try it this weekend for my friend’s birthday!
Make it in that order, in a glass with ice, & it’ll look this magical! (:
