All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
In a small pot or pan, add the gelatin and sugar. Without heating it on the stovetop, whisk to make the gelatin and sugar combine.
Add the alcohol (and food coloring if using) and whisk again until even and well mixed.
Now put the pan over medium-high heat and stir for about 5 minutes or until the gelatin and sugar have completely dissolved. You do not want the mixture to get too hot though, or the alcohol content will burn off.
Once fully combined, you are ready to put the liquid in your mold. This is easiest done with a thick plastic syringe or eye dropper, but you can also just do it with a spoon or very carefully pour it. However you do it, fill the mold with the liquid.
Put the filled mold in the fridge and allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes, however it is ideal if you can leave it to cool for several hours.
After the gummies have been allowed to fully set, pop them out of the mold and serve!
