Jolly Rancher Rainbow Smash Cocktail Boozy Candy Fun

Instructions:

1. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Simmer gently for 3 minutes.
2. Divide simple syrup equally into separate saucepan. Add candies of the same flavour to each pot. Simmer over low heat, stirring until candies are completely dissolved (about 5 minutes).
3. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. Strain each simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any candy residue.
4. Refrigerate the simple syrups for at least 2 hours to fully chill and intensify the flavour.
5. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, Green Apple simple syrup, Blue Raspberry simple syrup, and lime juice.
6. Close the cocktail shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, until well chilled.
7. Strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass.
8. Garnish with a lime wedge and 2 Jolly Rancher candies.
