The freedom to express myself and try something new!
Over the fourth of July weekend – I decided I was going to make vodka gummy bears. It was truly the highlight of my weekend.
Let me give you a little back story. I am not much of a drinker – mainly because I I got married at the age of 21 to someone who can not drink for medical reasons. In addition, I am the only driver. Not to mention, every time I drank I was accused of being an alcoholic. Well, Fourth of July weekend – I just did not care. I was tired of being told what I could and could not do.
I recently discovered my drink of choice is vodka. While I was out shopping, I found organic gummy bears, so I thought to myself – why not experiment. So I walked up to the liquor store, and bought a personal size Tito vodka – because it was gluten free. I bought a bag of Black forest organic gummy bears and a bag of yumm earth gummy bears. I went above and beyond and separated by color because I was originally planning on doing separate containers – but then decided against it and put each brand it its own container. Rather then filling above the gummy bears – I filled it half way and separated them to make sure they would not stick together. So they were in their own containers and I let them sit for 12 hours.
I actually liked the yumm earth ones better. The black forest ones were too starchy. The yumm earth kept their flavor and color.
All in all – I do not regret ever doing it! I had a blast and was able to try something new!
