Monarch Rooftop in Midtown announces their liquor-infused candies. With the waitlist for Sugarfina's Rosé-infused gummy bears now exceeding 14,000 people, it seems this is the latest craze to take over the nation. Monarch is joining in on the trend and offering much more accessible, and easy-to-make at home liquor-infused candies. Monarch has also shared the recipe with Broadwayworld.com readers.
Monarch will offer a Sugar Rush to its patrons seeking a buzz from sweet treats. Served daily, they include:
Tipsy Teddy Bears - gummy bears soaked in Champagne/Rosé
Rummy Worms- gummy worms soaked in rum and paired with a Mojito
Fish out of Water - Vodka-soaked Swedish Fish in blue Jell-O shots
Recipe
-Add each type of candy (quantity as desired) to bowls, respectively: gummy bears, gummy worms, or Swedish fish
-Cover with your spirit of choice until all candies are completely covered
-Let sit overnight or 6 to 8 hours for best results
-Drain any excess liquid following soaking
-Enjoy candies separately or in a summer drink, like Champagne, a Mojito, or Sangria.
