Introduction

Root Beer Float Whiskey Gummies are a creative, adult-only twist on a childhood classic. Combining the nostalgic taste of root beer floats with the bold warmth of whiskey, these gummies are the perfect treat for parties, celebrations, or just a unique indulgence. With a soft, creamy topping and a chewy gelatin base, they capture both flavor and fun in one delightful bite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup root beer
• 1/2 cup whiskey
• 2 packets (0.25 ounces each) unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the root beer and whiskey over medium heat. Stir gently until warm, but do not bring to a boil.
2. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the warm root beer mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
3. After blooming, whisk in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
5. Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds, filling each cavity about halfway.
6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully spoon or pipe the whipped cream into the gummy molds to fill them completely.
7. Refrigerate the molds for at least 2 hours or until the gummies are fully set.
8. Once set, gently remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Methods

This recipe utilizes the blooming method for gelatin, a crucial step to ensure smooth texture. Whipping the cream separately and adding it later allows for the iconic “float” visual and creamy texture. A silicone mold ensures easy release and presentation.

History

The root beer float, also known as a “black cow,” originated in the late 19th century in the United States. The addition of whiskey to modern versions transforms it into an adult dessert with nostalgic roots. Combining alcohol with gelatin-based candy has grown in popularity at events and gatherings for its portability and novelty.

Formation

These gummies are formed in two layers: the gelatin-based base infused with root beer and whiskey, and a whipped cream topping. This creates a float-like texture that mimics the real drink visually and tastefully.
