Candy Infused Vodka Recipes

Steps:

• Place candies in a container with a lid and add vodka. Seal container and place in a cool, dark place, shaking vigorously 1 to 2 times per hour, until candy has dissolved, 3 to 4 hours.
• Stir sugar into vodka mixture until dissolved.

Steps:

• In each canning jar, place one color candies. Pour 1 cup (8 oz) vodka over candy in each jar, making sure candy is completely covered with vodka. Place lids on jars; seal tightly. Shake each jar vigorously 20 seconds. Let stand 3 hours.
• Filter each candy-infused vodka through 1 coffee filter placed over 2-cup glass measuring cup. (This can be a slow process due to the build up of sugar from the candy. It may be necessary to poke a few small holes into the coffee filter for an initial filtration.) Repeat process with a second coffee filter. If after the second filtration a sugar residue remains, filter again or skim with a spoon.
• Carefully pour each infused vodka into separate flask. (If necessary, use funnel.) Refrigerate until ready to use; refrigerate up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Spread candies in a 3-quart baking dish, ensuring none of the candies are stuck together. Pour vodka over candies, spreading candies around and still ensuring none are stuck together. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 to 6 hours.
• Remove plastic wrap from candies. Separate gummy candies from dish using a spatula or your fingers. Cover candies with a new piece of plastic wrap; refrigerate, 4 to 6 hours. Repeat process of separating candies from dish every 4 to 6 hours and replacing plastic wrap until gummies have soaked for a total of 24 hours.

Steps:

• Add candy corn to mason jar. Pour vodka over the top.
• Seal and place in a dark cupboard or pantry for one week, shaking occasionally to help distribute the solids.
• Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to discard any solids.
• Chill if desired and serve straight up, or any other way you dream up.
