"Cordial": Jolly Rancher Vodka


I had once tried to make Skittle vodka, and it was terrible. I kept reading and discovered jolly ranchers are supposed to give a much better product. This is described as drinkable after 12 hours, or once the candies are fully dissolved. I'm curious how it would be in 18 months if treated like a proper cordial.

The original site showed a much large bottle, filled with cheap vodka, and 12 candies of a single flavor. I instead went with 3-4 ozs of better vodka (grey goose) in a small jar, and the 12 candies. They dissolved overnight just fine, telling me this is not the saturation point of candies.

It still has serious bite, akin to drinking straight grey goose, and it is not smooth. it IS definitely flavored with the candy, and is a little sweeter, however. I've sipped it straight and that's is fine, if you are accustomed to drinking vodka straight. Easier to dilute it with some 7-up! Either way, this is definitely frat food, but good in the right circumstances.
