With its blend of vodka, lemon-lime soda, and fruity Jolly Rancher candy, it will brighten up any party

• 4 ounces of vodka per Jolly Rancher color
• ice cubes
• 8 to 12 ounces of lemon-lime soda

Substitutions And Additions

NON-ALCOHOLIC: Make a non-alcoholic version by dissolving candies in half a cup of water and then just using the candy liquid topped with lemon-lime soda.

SOFT DRINKS: Instead of using a liter of Sprite or 7UP lemon-lime soda, your favorite brand of ginger ale would be a great option for a unique and different flavor.

How To Make This Jolly Rancher Drink Recipe

You’ll want to plan to make this drink ahead of time, as you need to let the candy have time to infuse the vodka with flavor. Let’s have a look at how to make this drink.

STEP ONE: Place 4 to 6 same-color Jolly Ranchers hard candy into a mason jar or container with a lid. Pour 4 ounces of vodka over the Jolly Ranchers and cover the container with an airtight lid.

Allow the candies to dissolve in the alcohol for about 24 hours. Stir or swirl occasionally to help combine the mixture.

STEP TWO: When ready to make the cocktails, fill the glasses with ice cubes.

STEP THREE: Add two ounces of candy alcohol to each glass.

STEP FOUR: Fill the glass the rest of the way with lemon-lime soda.

STEP FIVE: Top with Jolly Rancher candies and serve.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 4 to 6 Jolly Rancher candies, plus lots more for garnish
• 4 ounces vodka, per Jolly Rancher color
• Ice cubes
• 8 to 12 ounces lemon-lime soda

Instructions

 

• Place 4 to 6 same-color Jolly Rancher candies into a jar or container with a lid. Pour 4 ounces of vodka over the Jolly Ranchers and cover the container with an airtight lid. Allow candies to dissolve in the alcohol for about 24 hours. Stir or swirl occasionally to help combine the mixture.
• When ready to make the cocktails, fill glasses with ice.
• Add two ounces of candy alcohol to each glass.
• Fill the glass the rest of the way with lemon-lime soda.
• Top with Jolly Rancher candies and serve.

Notes

• This recipe makes a smaller batch of drinks but can easily be doubled to serve more people.
• If you want to offer multiple flavors of this drink, make more than one jar of candied vodka using different candy flavors, repeating the step above for each individual flavor.
• You can combine different colors of candied vodka, but they will blend together pretty quickly.
• The candies will sink into the drink, so fill the glass with ice and place the candies for the garnish on top. Candies will dissolve as they sit in the drink – you can add more lemon-lime soda, vodka, or Jolly Rancher vodka to the glass.
