FAQs

Can you soak gummy bears in rum? ›

To start, grab a Mason jar and fill it with your gummy bears. Make sure to leave a bit of room at the top. Next, pour your rum to the tippy-top so the gummy bears are covered. Seal the jar, leave it in your fridge for a week (or at least a few days) and take it out when you're ready.

As a rule of thumb, if you've had around 8-10 soaked gummy bears, you've likely consumed the alcohol equivalent of a shot.

Not only are these gummy bears boozy, they're made with a dash of ginger beer to pay homage to the classic co*cktail. The second treat is a chocolate cordial that is filled with a liquid center of actual Tito's vodka. Now you can take a shot while enjoying rich, dark chocolate simultaneously.

With a handful of ingredients and a gummy bear mold you can have these ready to enjoy in under 30 minutes. Just mix up a half cup of your favorite alcoholic drink, add sugar and gelatin, then use a dropper to fill your molds.

The science behind the experiment:

The acid in the vinegar breaks down the protein, allowing more water into the bear, but also causes it to lose its shape, The salt water actually has less water than the gummy bear, so the water in the bear should move into the surrounding solution, causing the bear to shrink.

I put them in a medium size bowl, and then I poured a little boxed wine I had lying around into the bowl until they were immersed. Just like the rosé gummy bears, they soaked up almost all the wine in 2-4 hours.

Best vodka-infused gummies on the net! I use Three Olives® or Van Gogh® vodka. Haribo® or Black Forest® gummy candy work best. Serve them with a slotted metal or wood spoon, using any non-plastic container.

Jello shots won't set properly if you add too much alcohol. Generally, a basic batch of jello shots is made with one cup of juice or water, one packet of gelatin, 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of alcohol. However, jello shots can be made with as much as 2/3 cup alcohol without changing their texture.

What are gummy bear shots made of? Cherry vodka, peach schnapps, pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda. They taste just like a red gummy bear!

Basically, pour the vodka into the packed bears until the alcohol barely peeks over the top. - Give your newly introduced gummi-bears and vodka a stir, and replace the lid. Place the whole tub into the fridge.

Why did my vodka gummy bears melt? ›

Keeping them in a cool place allows the gummies to stay fresh while they absorb the alcohol. If you leave the gummies out on a hot, or even warm day, the gummies will melt into a sticky goo pile. Easier to just keep them in the fridge for a few days and forget about them.

Delta Extrax has the strongest THC gummy you can buy right now. With its combination of THC strains and high dosage, you will most likely experience strong effects, even from a single serving.

Soak the gummies of your choice in rum for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours — they will only grow in size and soften a bit more the longer you soak them. I prefer mine on the 12 hour side, so that they're still a bit chewy. You can toss all of your gummies into one big bowl together.

Vodka works just as well, as do whiskey and tequila. The alcohol gummies get bloated and puffy when they soak up the alcohol — all the better for a boozy treat. They can get sticky, so serve them with a spoon or toothpicks!

The number of beers it takes to get drunk can depend on the individual's body weight, tolerance, and other factors. In general, it takes about 3-4 beers for most people to reach a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08%, which is the legal limit for driving in many countries.

Other than water, we have other solvents that work equally well in the dissolution experiment. They include vinegar, toluene, salty water, iced tea, acetone among others. Some of these solvents can dissolve the candies due to their low pH whereas others tend to slow down the process.

For the gummies to absorb the infusion oil and blend properly, you must mix them in liquid forms. The oil and the gummies should have smooth textures to avoid clumping once the mixture sets. You should begin by taking one of the bowls and placing a small portion of the gummies to melt in the microwave.

The best hack is to dip the gummies in ethanol, dry them and then coat them with citric acid before any sugar dusting. If the gummy appears to be too hard, soften them by rehydrating them in a bowl of hot or warm water (not cold water) until the desired consistency is achieved, usually around 20 minutes.

Dehydrate the candy: Place the tray of candies in the food dehydrator and set the timer according to the type of candy you are dehydrating. This process can take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, depending on the type and size of the candies. Check for doneness: Periodically check the candies for dryness.
