Vodka Gummy Bears

July 2, 2025

Vodka Gummy Bears are a playful, boozy treat that’s perfect for parties, celebrations, or casual get-togethers with friends. These little candies pack a surprising punch, combining the chewy sweetness of gummy bears with the kick of vodka. They’re fun, colorful, and always a conversation starter, offering a unique way to serve cocktails in snack form.

Part of the appeal of vodka gummy bears is their simplicity and versatility. With just a bit of time and patience, regular gummy bears transform into grown-up treats infused with your favorite vodka. The process is straightforward but rewarding, the gummy bears absorb the alcohol, becoming plump, juicy, and slightly softer while retaining their bright flavors and colors. What starts as a childhood candy turns into something a little more mischievous and a lot more fun for the adult crowd.

These boozy bites are perfect for summer barbecues, pool parties, birthdays, bachelorette parties, or game nights. They don’t require any fancy equipment, and they can be made ahead of time, which makes them a stress-free addition to any gathering. Simply pop them into a bowl, and watch guests smile, laugh, and reach for seconds. Their small size makes it easy for everyone to enjoy them casually, with no need for cups or mixers.

What’s even better is that vodka gummy bears are fully customizable. Use flavored vodka to add an extra twist, or mix different gummy varieties for a rainbow of colors and tastes. Some people enjoy experimenting with other spirits, like rum or tequila, for a different flavor profile. You can even get festive with them, use red, white, and blue gummies for the Fourth of July or heart-shaped candies for Valentine’s Day.

There’s something delightfully unexpected about offering this treat at a party. They bring a sense of nostalgia mixed with a playful adult twist. Whether you serve them in fancy dishes or playful snack cups, they’re guaranteed to be a hit. Just remember, they may look innocent, but they definitely pack a punch – enjoy responsibly!

    Not sure about this. Do the gummies get mushy? I don’t really like mushy things…

      They do get a bit softer, but I think that’s part of the fun! Just don’t leave them too long.

      I dunno, I think it might be too mushy for me too. Can’t stand mushy stuff! Keep an eye on ’em, maybe?

    Tried this, but my gummy bears didn’t soak up the vodka at all. Not sure what I did wrong! 😕

      IDK, they should absorb it. But I reckon some gummies just don’t soak like others. Did ya use regular ones? 🤔

      Maybe you didn’t let them soak long enough! I’ve had good luck leaving mine for 48 hours. They were amazing! 🍬

  7. User avatar trent.cummerata37 says:

    Are you supposed to eat the gummies after? Or just drink the vodka? Confused…

  8. User avatar Quickbeam says:

    Fun idea for adult parties! Just remember to tell people not to eat them all at once, lol!

  9. 2 stars
    U guys sure these don’t explode or something? That’s what my friend said.

  10. 2 stars
    Not sure about this. Sounds too risky for me. Can they really get that drunk?

  11. 3 stars
    Can you use any kind of vodka? I have this blueberry stuff lying around. Will that work?

    So easy! But I forgot to stir mine, and they were sooo soggy! Still tasty though.

  24. 2 stars
    Didn’t turn out well for me. Maybe I didn’t let it sit long enough? My bears were all shriveled up.

    Um, is this safe? Seems a bit risky to mix kids candy with booze.

    1. 5 stars
      It’s totally safe if you’re responsible! Just don’t let kids have them. They’re for adults only.

    2. 2 stars
      Seems a bit sketchy to me… mixing candy with alcohol? I dunno, what if kids get into them by mistake?

    I tried this with different types of alcohol and it wasn’t as good as vodka. Stick with vodka!

    1. 5 stars
      I totally agree! Vodka gives them the best flavor. I tried rum once and it was a disaster!

    Wow, just wow. Best adult treat ever! 🍭❤️👍

    Delicious! But you know, i’m not sure if you can soak any candies like this. I hope it’s safe!

  33. User avatar bennett.auer says:

    Just 24 hours? Mine took forever! Maybe I didn’t use enough vodka or something? 🤷‍♀️

    I let mine soak for 48 hours and they were way too strong! Next time I’ll stick to 24.

    I don’t get it. Why would you ruin gummy bears with vodka? Some things are meant to be simple.

      It’s actually a fun twist! A lot of people love them at parties. Just try it before knocking it!

    2. 2 stars
      I don’t know, seems kinda pointless to me. Gummy bears are fine on their own. Why mess with perfection?

      I dunno, sounds kinda odd to mix alcohol and candy. Like, aren’t gummy bears supposed to be for kids? 😕
