Drunken Gummie Bears

I, along with many many other people, am loving Pinterest.  There are so many cool ideas that I want to try out from recipes to cleaning solutions, to even organizing your bill payments!  Here is one that I tried just for fun the other day.  I've seen a few of these posts for "drunken gummie bears".  Ummm yes please.  You basically just take gummie bears and soak them in vodka.  Sure!

Not quite so easy...

I took my gummie bears and put them in a container and covered them with Stoli Razz vodka for a little flavor.  According to Pinterest I was supposed to leave them for 5 days but after one night the vodka was all soaked in.   It looked like this:

They were kind of slimy and when I ate one... oh, the burning! It was like eating straight up vodka!  So I poured some cran-raspberry juice in (per Pinterest).

Kind of soupy but I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.  After waiting another night, I checked on my bears.  They tasted pretty good but unfortunately they turned into something like jello soup.  They lost any sense of individuality and turned into mush.  Pretty good tasting mush but still... the only way you can eat these guys is with a spoon.

Final product:

So for this Pinterest recipe I would say it tasted ok but in terms of having individual gummie bears that you can pop in your mouth and get a buzz from... nope.  Oh well, worth a shot!
