Add vodka, triple sec and pineapple juice to base of punch bowl and stir to combine. Pour over orange soda. Drop in dry ice before spooning orange sherbet on top. Garnish with gummy worms. Apple martinis, also known as Appletinis, are the perfect combination of tart, sweet, and a little sour. There are a few different ways that people make this cocktail but you really can't go wrong. The bright color and fresh apple wedge make it a fun cocktail to serve and very easy to drink.

You have a secret, a skeleton in your your closet. Brace yourself, you are about to be exposed. You! yes you, love 'vintage' candy. What is vintage candy? Like you don't know! Let's face it, you're not getting any younger but we'll indulge you...just for today. Vintage candy is that candy that you bought at the corner store as a kid (or at a dying strip mall if you're a native Floridian). These are the confections that have been around forever like Johnny Appleseed, Jolly Ranchers, Pixie Stix and maybe even Mary Janes. Then there is the mother of all old school candy, gummy worms! Created in the 1920s by German confectioner, Hans Honn (Haribo Candy Co.founder), gummy worms have changed over the years- sour worms, neon worms, cola worms and still, nearly a century later, we still can't get enough of those sweet creepy crawlers.Tomorrow, July 15th is National Gummy Worm Day. Wondering how to celebrate? If eating gummies straight up isn't your thing let us upgrade you with five gummy worm cocktails from Fort Lauderdale's finest bartenders. Bottoms Up!

Unless you've lost a dare recently, you've probably yet to try a genuine 'tequila worm'. Tequila worms are pretty hard to come by these days but that's no reason to skip the agave! This is the easiest and most potent Gummy Worm Day drink. Use discretion, drink responsibly, and don't forget to flash your miniature finger mustache after you lick-drink-suck! This is an easy drink to prepare, pour a shot of your favorite tequila, add a gummy worm and hold on for dear life. Enjoy!
Happy Gummy Worm Day!
