My first year of college I bought my first bottle (with the help of a 21 year old, of course) or Aristocrat vodka. A friend and I shared the fifth, the night before I left for spring break. At the end of the night, we still hadn't finished it and we were just dicking around and so I dropped an olive in the bottle. We didn't drink after that. The next day I left and left the bottle, with the olive in it, in my fridge.
I cane back a week later and remembered the olive and told my friend to split it with me. It was straight alcohol infused.
Not candy, but still, overkill on trying to mix alcohol with food.
