How to Make Sweet & Sour Vodka Rainbow Rollups
  1. Boil the Water: Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan.

  7. Pour the Mixture: Transfer the gelatin mixture into the prepared pan evenly.
  8. Chill to Set: Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours until completely set.
  9. Loosen the Edges: Carefully run a knife around the edges of the chilled gelatin.
  10. Invert and Cut: Turn the dish upside down onto a cutting board and tap to release.
  11. Slice the Gelatin: Cut the gelatin into 1-inch wide strips.
  12. Prepare Candy Strips: Trim the sour candy strips to match the length of the gelatin strips.
