  • 1/2 cup fruit juice like orange or cranberry
  • 1/4 cup grenadine

Equipment

  • Shot glasses
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups

  • Strainer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment before starting.
  2. Place 1 cup gummy bears in a mixing bowl and pour 1 cup vodka over them.
  3. Let gummy bears infuse in vodka for 2 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally to soften.
  4. While infusing, arrange shot glasses on a tray for easy serving.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup fruit juice and 1/4 cup grenadine until combined.
  6. Strain the infused vodka through a strainer to remove gummy bears and achieve a smooth liquid.
  7. Combine the strained vodka with the juice and grenadine mixture in a mixing bowl and stir gently.
  8. Pour the final mixture into shot glasses, filling each to the top.
  9. Garnish each shot with a gummy bear if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, serve chilled and let gummy bears infuse the full 24 hours. Use flavored vodka for a twist.
