Well, it’s kind of a long story as to why we had gummy bears spread across the counter, along with a bottle of vodka.
However, the fabulous day did involve both of those items, as well as a dear, dear friend, and lots of laughter.

I would have preferred Sugar Free Haribo Gummy Bears 😁 (and those of you who know me well would know exactly why 😂), but we went with these instead.

This is not a school-time snack – unless you’re the schoolteacher at home with your 4 kids during COVID quarantine!

Vodka Gummy Bears: these bears definitely have a hangover.

Place the gummy bears in a bowl. Cover with vodka – just enough to cover the surface the bears in the bowl.

Cover the bears in plastic wrap and place in the fridge to soak for 2 days.

Grab a bear to taste on day 2. If you feel like they are boozy enough, they are done. However, if you’re like me, give the one or two more days. When they are done, they’ll have absorbed most of the vodka, if not all.

IF there is any leftover, use as a spirited simple syrup for a new, fandangled gummy rainbow cocktail.

Eat the gummies immediately. Feel awesome. Be awesome. – Teach your kids how to divide fractions?
