Notes

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

Gummy Bears: I used Haribo's original gummy bears. Be warned: cheaper brands may get mushy.

Pineapple Rum: I used Bacardi pineapple.

Peach Schnapps: I'm partial to Dr. McGillicuddy's.

Cranberry Juice: Use your favorite flavor. I used White Cranberry.

Tips

Don't Forget To Stir: Stir once or twice daily to prevent them from sticking together. If they do stick together, rinse with water.

Don't Overfill: Add just enough alcohol for them to be covered, but not swimming.

Don't Throw Away the Liquid: Add it to another cocktail or try it in a boozy dessert.

Use a toothpick or cocktail skewer for a cute presentation.
