Reviews
Too sugary sweet.
Wayyy to sweet! The whipped cream vodka is very sweet with the jelly beans – tried to cut with the plain vodka, that still didn’t work.
I didn’t like this drink. I followed the recipe exactly, but maybe I used the wrong kind of jelly beans? No brand was specified, so I used Brach’s. It was easy to make and looked pretty, but it tasted a lot like Robitussin cherry flavored cough syrup.
Deelish! Made a second round using orange and green jelly beans!
