Raid Your Kids’ Easter Baskets To Make Jelly Bean-Infused Vodka

Three words: Jelly. Bean. Vodka.

It’s a sugar lover’s dream, and a college survivor’s frequent nightmare. And now, it’s the perfect drink to make Easter a little more fun while the kids hunt for eggs.

So, here’s the tea. Bean? Here’s the bean.

Jelly bean vodka can be made a few ways. You can go for a single flavor using a single color of jelly beans, or you can be a lawless creature and mix ’em all together for one chaotic flavor profile.

If you want to separate yours…

Then here’s where you start: Take your bag of jelly beans and separate each color into a different container.

That’s it! You’ve completed step one. Take a nap and then come back for step two.

Welcome to step two!

This step involves the vodka. If you’ve mixed all your beans together in one jar, this step is where we’re meeting back up again. Add vodka to each container.

Sarah at Savoring the Good recommends a 4:1 ratio.

Let them sit.

Now is also a good time for a nap if you skipped your nap in step two. Each candy has a different reaction time, so it may take 10 minutes or more for the coloring and flavor to infuse the vodka.

Mix ’em up.

Welcome back from napping! Stick your stir object of choice in your containers and mix up the colors. You should end up with some gorgeous, saturated colors for each one!

Strain.

Time to get rid of the jellybeans. Strain your vodka mix through a strainer and separate out all the chunky bits left behind. Snack on them if you dare. I bet they’re squishy.

YA DONE.

You did it, you made jellybean vodka. Pick your cup of choice, pour your vodka, garnish as you please, and get to sippin’. Isn’t it just the perfect adult Easter treat?

Shout out to this special garnish.

Remember how I mentioned your garnish of choice? Peeps. This person chose Peeps. You’re gonna have a sugar overload while drinking this, but god it’ll be worth it for the flavors.

Of course, you could just leave it in a community jar.

Skip the separating and the individual measuring and go straight for the big jar. Pour it all in and let people take as much as they want. Now that’s working smart, not hard.
