Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup tequila
  • 1/2 cup water

Sweeteners and Gelatin

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin

Flavorings and Finishing

  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Edible glitter for dusting

Instructions

  1. Warm Liquids: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water and 1 cup of tequila over medium heat. Stir gently until the mixture is warm but not boiling, preparing the base for dissolving sugar and gelatin.
  2. Dissolve Sugars: Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup corn syrup to the warm mixture. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth syrupy consistency.
  3. Bloom Gelatin: Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin over the warm liquid and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes, allowing the gelatin granules to absorb liquid and soften.
  4. Dissolve Gelatin: Stir the gelatin mixture gently until fully dissolved and lump-free, creating a smooth, thickened base for the gummies.
  5. Add Flavorings: Stir in 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, balancing citrus brightness with a touch of saltiness.
  6. Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes to prevent mold damage and set gummies properly.
  7. Prepare Mold: Lightly grease a silicone gummy wand mold or shallow dish with oil to prevent sticking, ensuring easy gummy removal after setting.
  8. Pour Mixture: Carefully pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the prepared mold cavities or dish evenly for uniform gummies.
  9. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the filled mold or dish for 2-3 hours until gummies are firm and set to the touch.
  10. Remove Gummies: Once set, extract gummies from the mold or cut into strips if made in a dish.
  11. Dust with Glitter: Lightly dust the gummy wands with edible glitter for a sparkling, festive finish that enhances their presentation.
  12. Store Properly: Place the gummies in an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to serve to preserve texture and freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure not to boil the alcohol mixture to preserve the tequila flavor and avoid evaporating the alcohol.
  • Use a silicone mold for easy removal and uniform gummy shapes.
  • Edible glitter adds a fun, festive touch and is safe for consumption.
  • Refrigerate gummies to maintain firmness and prevent melting.
  • Adjust lime and lemon juice to your taste for more or less tartness.
  • If you prefer non-alcoholic gummies, substitute tequila with water or fruit juice.
