When it comes to hard candy, is there any brand as iconic as Jolly Ranchers? The adventurous have tried these fruit-flavored sweets in cereal or Pop-Tarts form. But, as our test kitchen discovered, they taste even better as vodka shots.

You're already intimately familiar with the flavors in the iconic original bag: blue raspberry, cherry, grape, green apple, and watermelon. Just in time for summer, Hershey has given us a whole new way to enjoy Jolly Ranchers by releasing a new tropical mix that's destined to transport our taste buds to an island in the sun.

This new mix includes a blend of four new flavors: fruit punch, golden pineapple, lime, and mango flavors. They come in a resealable blue bag, which makes sharing with friends quite simple. But we have a feeling you'll want to hold onto your entire bag, because it takes approximately 10 candies of the same color to make a batch of Jolly Ranchers Shots. A 13 oz.-bag costs only $3.60 at Walmart, so you won't mind buying an extra one or two in order to make sure you have enough of each flavor to mix with your vodka of choice.

ICYMI: These fruity rectangles completely dissolve in vodka, unlike their cousins gummy bears and Skittles. After you patiently place them in a refrigerator overnight, you'll wake up to mason jars full of fruity and sweet vodka. Forget Lemon Drops, these are truly the way to go.
