Sour Patch Kids – The New Flavors Rock…and a Vodka Shot

212302011_0_640x640 imagesSour tasting candy is a science. And nothing tastes better than Sour Patch Kids.  But now there is a challenger. The new tastes of sour Patch Kids. Soda and extreme are our 2 favorites. Just amazing. But now there is an even weirder trend:  The Sour Patch Kids Vodka Shot.

This is of course an american “tradition”. Here is how to do it
Ingredients:
sour-patch-kids-vodka-shots2 cups Sour Patch Kids, divided
20 ounces flavored vodka (we like Smirnoff Sourced pineapple)
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
Directions:
To a shallow bowl, add the sugar, lemon and lime zest. Mix until combined.
To a shallow plate, add about 1/4 cup of water (or vodka), and dip the shot glasses into the water. (This will help the sugar stick to the rims of the shot glasses.)
Once you dip the shot glasses into the water, immediately dip them into the sugar mixture.
Add 2 – 3 Sour Patch Kids to each shot glass.
Add 1/2 cup of Sour Patch Kids and the vodka to a cocktail shaker, working in batches. (You can use your favorite flavored vodka or regular vodka — the vodka will begin to taste like Sour Patch Kids the more they sit.)
Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Fill each shot glass with 2 ounces of the candy-infused vodka.
