Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup tequila
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Sweeteners

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup

Other Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Edible glitter for dusting

Instructions

  1. Warm the liquors and water: 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 never boiling, ensuring alcohol remains intact.
  2. Dissolve the sweeteners: Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup corn syrup to the saucepan. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the sugar fully dissolves, creating a smooth syrup base.
  3. Bloom the gelatin: Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin over the warm mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to absorb liquid and bloom properly.
  4. Dissolve gelatin thoroughly: After 5 minutes, gently stir the mixture to ensure the gelatin melts completely without lumps, forming a consistent gummy base.
  5. Add flavor enhancers: Stir in 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until evenly mixed, balancing sweetness and adding bright citrus notes.
  6. Cool slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes to avoid warping molds on pouring.
  7. Prepare molds: Lightly grease silicone gummy wand molds or a shallow dish with oil to prevent sticking, ensuring easy release later.
  8. Pour mixture into molds: Carefully transfer the cooled liquid into the prepared molds or dish, filling cavities evenly without overflow.
  9. Refrigerate to set: Place molds or dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, allowing gummies to firm up completely.
  10. Remove from molds: Once set, either pop the gummies from the molds or cut into strips if using a dish.
  11. Garnish with edible glitter: Dust each gummy wand with edible glitter for an eye-catching, sparkling finish perfect for presentation.
  12. Store properly: Keep the Tequila Stardust Gummy Wands in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Do not boil the mixture to preserve the flavor and alcohol content of the tequila.
  • Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to get the perfect gummy texture without lumps.
  • Use silicone molds for easiest gummy release; if unavailable, a lightly greased shallow dish works.
  • Refrigerate gummies until fully set; do not rush this step for best consistency.
  • Edible glitter must be food-grade and safe for consumption.
  • These gummies contain alcohol and are intended for adults only.
