Few things are better than an ice-cold treat on a scorching summer day, but that doesn’t mean you have to forgo your spirits in favor of refreshing sweet eats.

Gummy Bear Tequila: Want a booze-forward childhood treat without putting in much effort? Enter these gummy bears from candy boutique Sugarfina. The luxury brand has teamed up with George Clooney’s Casamigos Tequila to create a new collection of liquor-infused sweets.
