Gummi Shot Glasses

Step 3 Finishing Up

1. To remove the gummi shots from the mold, you'll need to basically invert the silicone of each section (as shown). Don't worry about tugging or pulling too hard, it's pretty hard to rip the gummi, but it can get a little distorted
2. Store in a small container in the freezer until you want to use them (this will help them to not get damaged, and to stay solid)
3. Fill with liquor of your choice (Jello-shot-filled-gummi-shots? Sounds like a good plan. . .)
4. Toast and enjoy!

Vodka Imported from Holland!

Effen Vodka. If you don't like Effen Vodka, too Effen bad.

I love this! What a great idea! Now if I could only find a drink worthy of these sweet shot glasses...

[ungood]

Skittles Vodka would go well.

[theojones]

This makes me want to do the Skittles Vodka EVEN more...http://mixthatdrink.com/skittles-vodka-tutorial/

Personally, I like lemon drops so I plan to give Lemon Head vodka a try soon (also need to find a source for just yellow gummies)

[zenergetic]

I would try the albanese candy co, they have the BEST gourmet flavors (like 15) and you can buy individual colors. I did a kahlua chocolate shot out of a banana gummy shot glass... it was amazin!  I also love midori and vodka in the pineapple gummi shot glass...

[thedragonmaster]

try golden gummi bears. Worked for me!

[shesparticular]

The toughest part is finding just yellow gummies that aren't gelatin-based (yeah, I'm one of those "crunchy veggie chicks"). I saw some at Whole Foods a while ago, but it's probably easier to just make them.

[crunchdime]

good idea..im gonna melt sour soothers, and shoot Jacks/and soupuss mix...tangy...

[tecnica]

Great idea to roll with! Perhaps a sour gummi would work well with southern comfort. (Since some people do the soco-and-lime shots) I happened to get that shotglass mold as a gift, and only used it once... since holding ice isn't that great and then makes a mess... great idea from the original poster!!

[shesparticular]

Thanks so much for your comments!

I'm not sure that melting sour patch kids (or other sour candies) would work as well as the plain, since I don't know what the coating would do. To make the glasses sour, I'd probably make them without dusting the mold with powdered sugar or anything (maybe grease it lightly), and then coat gummi glasses with sour sanding after unmolding them. To make sour sanding, you could probably mix a lemon juice a few drops at a time with sugar, or try mixing sugar with a crystallized lemon or lime product (the crystallized lemon would probably work best).

There is a product called True Lemon which is dehydrated lemon. This would be great to add the "sour" component. They also have True Lime and True Orange. Google it.

[shesparticular]

Thanks for the suggestion! I had exactly the same thought (love True Lemon!)

[aeray]

You can also get small quantities of dry citric acid from cheesemaking suppliers.

[Lunarpancake]

Flippin' Genius!

[jobergy]

yes i agree FLIPPIN GENIUS! 

[shesparticular]

Thanks guys! Make sure to also check out this shot and this one too - both are amazing!

[Ryyx]

I've wanted to try this with Jolly Ranchers...

[jobergy]

sounds like a good idea...except it would get sticky after a couple shots 

[bdunni88]

 Jello-shots in gummi-shot glasses.......YESSS!!!!

[Vixen8387]

dont think scotch would go too well in gummi shots do ya? not a fan of vodka *blargs*

[badboy123]

or also tequila

[f47m1k3]

You don't shoot scotch, you sip it. If you want to do shots, use something like Jack. It's trash and not meant to be enjoyed like scotch is.

[jessifromdenver]

What an awesome idea! I would have never thought to melt down gummy worms!

[LemonLily]

Whats lubed?

[shesparticular]

Lubicated or greased up with oil to make them not stick.

[thepelton]

Someone mentioned confectioner's sugar. Why not dust them with that just like you dust a breadboard with flour?

[shesparticular]

I usually dust the mold very lightly with corn starch, but powdered sugar works just as well (and usually contains corn starch to keep it from caking).

[xplodingpenguin]

"Gummy Bear Sex" in gummy shot glasses... Gummy Bear Sex is a drink my friends made up (or just told me they did) of Strawberry Vodka + 7up(or any lemon lime soda)

[nannysarah]

Mmmmmmm!

[gonzolo]

Lube up your molds with some vegetable or olive oil before you put in the liquid gummi. It should make them come out much easier. We do this with plastic molds for both gummi and jello and sometimes they slide right out with no force.

[LadyCrymsyn]

Excellent suggestion! Thanks, Gonzolo!

[shesparticular]

Personally I'd go with corn starch or powdered sugar (as was suggested previously) since it can be dusted off and also helps to prevent stickiness after unmolding.

[chamunks]

you can still add the cornstarch/sugar after the lubed mold just wait a little for the glasses to dry.
