Ingredients
  

For the Sweet & Sour Rollups
  • 10 strips Sour Rainbow Candy Strips Adds sweetness and tang; substitutes like sour belts or fruit leather can enhance flavor.
  • 1 cup Vodka Primary source of adult flavor; consider swapping with white rum or flavored liqueurs.
  • 1 pkg Fruit-Flavored Gelatin Provides structure and fruity punch; use compatible flavored gelatin brand if unavailable.
  • 2 cups Water Essential for dissolving the gelatin; no substitutes necessary.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetener to balance flavors; decrease for a less sweet treat.
  • 1/4 cup Corn Syrup Ensures chewiness and prevents crystallization; honey or agave syrup can be used.
  • 1/4 cup Sour Sugar (optional) For an extra sour coating; make by mixing granulated sugar with citric acid.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet & Sour Vodka Rainbow Rollups
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in fruit-flavored gelatin until fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add granulated sugar and corn syrup, stirring until combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Allow mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes, then stir in vodka until well-blended.
  5. Grease a baking dish with non-stick spray or oil, pour the mixture, and spread evenly to ¼ inch thick.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours until firm and no longer sticky.
  7. Run a knife around the edges and invert onto a cutting board to release the gelatin.
  8. Slice into 1-inch strips and layer a sour candy strip on top of each piece.
  9. Roll each strip tightly, using gentle pressure. Optionally, roll in sour sugar for extra tang.
  10. Store in an airtight container in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
