Step 1 of 19

This is the recipe and supplies for each 1l bottle of Absolut vodka you wanna make. A normal bag of Jolly Ranchers have 5 flavors, that's why, I making 5 bottles of Absolut vodka, one per each flavor.

Step 2 of 19

You need aprox. 12 Jolly Rancher candies per each 250 ml of vodka. In this recipe I'm actually using a higher rate, but that's because I wanna a vodka with a lot of flavor.

Step 3 of 19

You need, of course, a huge bag of candies. This one it's the bigger I manage to find in Costco.

Step 4 of 19

I like the Absolut vodka, because it has a huge neck and the candy fit very easily.

Step 5 of 19

The first step it's to separate the Jolly Ranchers by flavor.

Step 6 of 19

Now you choose which flavor you wanna do first.

Step 7 of 19

Extract 160 ml from the 1,000 ml of the Absolut vodka bottle, this is because you need to open room for the volume of the Jolly Ranchers candies.

Step 8 of 19

This is aprox. how the 1,000 ml Absolut vodka bottle look after extract the 160 ml.

Step 9 of 19

Start open the envelops of the Jolly Ranchers candies and dropping them inside of the bottle by the neck.

Step 10 of 19

This is what 50 Jolly Ranchers candies look inside.

Step 11 of 19

Another picture of 50 Jolly Ranchers candies already inside.

Step 12 of 19

Sometimes the Jolly Ranchers candies get sticky and stuck in the neck of the bottle, I use the reverse of a spoon to with delicacy push them inside.

Step 13 of 19

This is aprox. how the volume of 50 Jolly Ranchers candies look inside a 1,000 bottle of Absolut vodka with just 860 ml of alcohol.

Step 14 of 19

After aprox. between 48 and 72 hours this is how your bottles should look like.

Step 15 of 19

Watermelon.

Step 16 of 19

Cherry.

Step 17 of 19

Apple.

Step 18 of 19

Blueberry.

Step 19 of 19

Do the Candy's dissolve in the vodka? Or did you have to find a way to filter them out?

John V last month

This looks like fun; how long does it keep after adding the Jolly Ranchers? Does it go bad over time?

Geoffrey Bradley 4 months ago

This would enhance the flavor of Jell-O shots! Very excited

I usually drink it with mineral water, but I have friends who like it with a couple of ice cubes in a Old Fashion glass and drink it straight, it's quite strong flavor. You can always make a shot straight from the bottle.

Ramiro Gómez (author) 9 months ago

would you drink it straight? or mix it with something? Xx

Annie Hughes 9 months ago

@johnbonner No, you don't put the 160ml back that volumne it's roughly the volumne of the candies. When you finish the recipe you will not have any space left in the bottles. You can either drink the extra ml or you can place it in another bottle and make a new flavor.

Do you later put back the 160ml in the bottle? The UK stopped producing Jolly Rachers years a go due to artificial colours & flavours in it. You can pick them up on eBay or speciality American sweet sellers. Febwicks department store in Eldon Square Newcastle sell them in their American sweet section. Where ever you get them from in UK they'll be expensive dinero be be imported from USA.

For me, I think the best flavor it's Apple.

Ramiro Gómez (author) 10 months ago

Which is the best flavour?

Reynaldo Rodríguez 10 months ago

temp. Alcohol does not freeze, but gets thick & syrupy which is perfect for shots or an ice cold Flavored Martini!

Hen Ha 11 months ago

New tip, no straining required if you use Jolly Ranchers. I keep the flavored Vodka in the freezer after the 72 hours at room

Hen Ha 11 months ago

Do you have to strain it like with the Skittles Vodka?

What would you use in England?

Jill Baskerville 11 months ago

Try 12 Jolly Ranchers for a 1/2 bottle if Vodka. Good ratio of flavor. I used Blue Raspberry Jolly Ranchers with a 1/2 bottle of Ketel One Vodka. Large opening on bottle easily accommodates the Jolly Rancher Hard Candies.
