Vodka Gummy Bears

First item Complete!

Since I read about Vodka Gummy Bears, I've always wanted to make them. I thought it would be a good place to start on my bucket list because it is something I can do at home and I had a party this week so it was good to make them for that.


This is the Recipe I used to make the vodka gummy bears:

You need:
Vodka
Gummy Bears
Glass container with lid or Cling film



1. Put the gummy bears inside the glass container. 
2. Pour the Vodka over the top so it is just covering the sweets. This makes the taste of vodka noticeable but there is no burning sensation in the back of the throat.

3. Cover the container with the lid or the cling film and put it into the fridge.
4. Leave them in the fridge for around 3-5 days. They should absorb most of the alcohol.
5. The Bears should get slightly bigger but not by much.


I left them for about two days. From the recipe I found online, it said leave them for about 3-5 days. I would suggest leaving them in for longer than two days because the Vodka hadn't soaked through to the middle and the middle was still hard.
I filled the bowl up so that the gummy bears had been completely drowned in the Vodka. Like the recipe said, there was a visible Vodka taste but no burning. I would definitely suggest that you should make some Vodka gummy bears if you enjoy sweets and alcohol.

My warning would be is that you shouldn't eat too many if you're drinking as well because the sugar and Vodka together will get you drunk a lot quicker.
Enjoy!

Hi!

My Bucket List...


I've always wanted to write. I've always wanted to complete my Bucket list. It suddenly dawned on me that I could put two and two together and write a blog about my mission to complete the things on the list!
Of course, not all of them will happen straight away... It's not like I can just pick up and go to live in Germany for a year right now! And of course I have to be 21 to go to Las Vegas so it seems I will just have to wait... 
However, there are some things I can complete now, like sleeping under the stars or send a written letter to a random address.
I will keep you posted with everything that I have done with evidence of me doing it. I will also be posting evidence onto my Tumblr (click to be sent to the address) so follow me to keep track. I hope the things I want to do will maybe inspire you to start your own bucket list or motivate you to do better things.

To get you started here are a few ideas you could think about adding you your list...

Sleep on the Beach
Go Skinny Dipping
Make Vodka Gummy Bears
Go Sky Diving
Go on a Road trip
Visit every Continent
Lie under a Plane taking off
Stencil a Shirt
Create a Fort
