You don’t need to spend a fortune at the liquor store to stock your bar with flavored vodkas. It’s a breeze to make your own at home with assorted chewy candies!

Attach a small tag to the neck of each flask and give the candy-infused vodka as a homemade gift.

Mix candy-infused vodka with lemon-lime carbonated beverage, ginger ale or club soda.

Ingredients

• 3 pint-size canning jars with tight-fitting lids
• 3/4 cup yellow candy-coated fruit-flavored chewy candies
• 3/4 cup orange candy-coated fruit-flavored chewy candies
• 3/4 cup purple candy-coated fruit-flavored chewy candies
• 1 bottle (750 ml) vodka
• 6 coffee filters
• 3 flasks (8.5 oz each)

Preparation

Step 1

In each canning jar, place one color candies. Pour 1 cup (8 oz) vodka over candy in each jar. 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.
