Submitted by Jonny Gronlund, Beverly Hills, California USA

The Candyshots concept was born in Sweden in the middle of the nineties. That's when Sweden entered into the European Community. This led to the Swedes being able to legally own a distilling apparatus for ex water purification. Well a lot of Swedes started to own the apparatus "for that purpose of course" but some bad seeds started making their own vodka. Their vodka were so bad that they needed a way to make it taste better and that is how someone came up with the brilliant idea to dissolve "good" candy in "bad" vodka to make decent shots. The concept evolved and companies started manufacturing liquid candy easily mixed with good vodka to make great tasting Candyshots.
