HOW TO MAKE Drunken Sour Gummy Worm Cocktail

This section shows every step to make the drink. Read each step before you start. Keep your candy ready to use. Use fresh juice for the best taste.

When you make it, you will blend the drinks to a cool slush. Then you will add lots of candy. The candy soaks in the alcohol and keeps the party going. For another fun candy-style drink idea, you can compare this to a playful vampire’s kiss drink here: a playful vampire’s kiss drink.

Follow the exact steps in the next section to make the slush and pour it into glasses.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

• A blender that can crush ice.
• A measuring jigger or small cup for measuring ounces.
• One large spoon for stirring and placing candy.
• Tall clear glasses to show the colors.
• A small tray or plate to hold gummy worms.
• A knife and cutting board if you want to slice fruit for the rim.

Keep the blender cold if you can. A chilled blender helps make a better slush. Clean the tools right after you use them to stop the candy from sticking.

Ingredients You’ll Need :

• 2 oz coconut rum
• 1 1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur
• 6 oz pineapple juice
• 2 oz orange juice
• 1 cup of ice
• Sour candy worms

These items are easy to find. Use good quality juices if possible. Fresh pineapple juice makes the drink taste brighter. If you prefer less alcohol, reduce the rum or skip it and add more juice. The gummy worms come in many colors and sizes. Use a mix for the best look.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS :

1. In a blender add all ingredients except the sour worms.
2. Pulse until slushy.
3. Pour your drink into the glass and add TONS of candy!!
4. Have fun as the candy soaks in the liquor..
5. ENJOY!!

These steps keep the drink simple. The blender turns the ice and juice into a cold slush quickly. Pour slowly so the candy sits on top. If you want the candy to soak faster, stir them in gently. If you want the worms to float more, use extra ice to create more foam.

HOW TO SERVE Drunken Sour Gummy Worm Cocktail

Serve this drink cold and bright. Use tall clear glasses so the colors and candy show. Add a few extra gummy worms on a small skewer across the glass rim. This looks childlike but is for adults only because of the alcohol.

You can also chill the glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring. This keeps the slush longer on warm days. If you host a group, set out a small tray of extra candy so each guest can add their own. For a theme party, match the color of the gummy worms to the party colors.

For a zero-alcohol serving option at the same party, pair this cocktail with a mocktail like the dark vampire’s kiss mocktail shown here: a dark vampire’s kiss mocktail. That keeps everyone included and keeps the candy fun.

STORAGE & FREEZING : Drunken Sour Gummy Worm Cocktail

Store the leftover slush in a freezer-safe container. You can freeze the slush in small servings for quick treats. When you want a drink, let the frozen slush sit for a few minutes at room temperature and then pulse in the blender for a second to fluff it.

Do not store gummy worms inside a drink for too long. They will soak up the alcohol and break apart after time. If you want to keep candy for later, store the worms in a sealed bag at room temperature. If you leave a mixed drink with candy on the counter, use it within a few hours.

For longer storage:

• Keep the blended drink in the freezer for up to two weeks.
• Thaw in the fridge before re-blending for a smooth texture.
• Do not freeze for months; the taste will fade.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

• Pair with salty snacks like chips or popcorn. The salt brightens the fruit flavors.
• Serve with small plates of fresh fruit. Pineapple or orange slices match the drink.
• Add a small bowl of extra gummy worms for guests to decorate their own glass.
• For a kids-safe table, offer a non-alcoholic candy drink so kids can join the theme. The non-alcoholic vampire’s kiss idea can fit well for kids and adults who skip alcohol: a kids-safe vampire’s kiss mocktail.

Keep the serving area simple. Use napkins and a small dish for used skewers and sticks. A tidy table makes the bright drink stand out more.

VARIATIONS

• Less Alcohol: Cut the rum to 1 oz and add 1 oz more pineapple juice.
• Mocktail Version: Remove both liqueurs and use coconut water and blue sports drink for color. Add more pineapple and orange juice.
• Frozen Pops: Pour the slush into popsicle molds and freeze. Add a gummy worm to each mold before freezing.
• Spicy Twist: Add a light dash of chili powder on the rim for a warm bite.
• Tropical Boost: Add a splash of mango puree or banana liqueur for a deeper fruit flavor.

These small changes let you match the cocktail to your crowd. For a brunch party, you can serve the cocktail with sweet warm dishes and a bright coffee. If you want brunch pairing ideas, try dishes like fluffy baked French toast that share a sweet and warm vibe: homemade sourdough French toast.
