🧑🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Grapes
Wash grapes thoroughly and dry completely. Any moisture will prevent the candy coating from sticking properly.
Step 2: Boozy Soak
Place grapes in a large bowl.
Pour in vodka, lime juice, and lemon juice.
Gently toss to coat all grapes evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, stirring once halfway through.
Tip: The longer they soak, the stronger the boozy flavor.
Step 3: Drain (But Don’t Dry!)
Using a slotted spoon, remove grapes from the liquid. Let excess liquid drip off, but do not rinse or dry—they need to stay sticky.
Step 4: Candy-Coat the Grapes
Place each gelatin flavor in a separate shallow bowl.
Roll grapes in the gelatin powder until fully coated.
Mix flavors for a rainbow candy effect if desired.
Step 5: Set & Chill
Arrange coated grapes on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour to set the coating.
