Preparation
  1. Boil the water in a saucepan.
  2. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fruit gelatin until it looks clear and uniform.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar and corn syrup until fully dissolved.
  4. Cool the mixture briefly and then stir in vodka.
  5. Grease a 9x13-inch dish lightly, pour in the gelatin mixture, and level the top.
  6. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours until the slab is fully set.
  7. Unmold carefully onto a cutting board and cut into 1-inch wide strips.
  8. Pair each gelatin strip with a sour rainbow candy strip and roll into a tight spiral.

Notes

For best results, ensure gelatin is fully dissolved before pouring. Chill thoroughly to prevent tearing when cutting. Coat with sour sugar right before serving for the best texture.
