World's First Alcohol-Infused Lollipop Set to Launch: Licksy Brings a Buzz to Candy Lovers Everywhere

Get ready to lick responsibly. Entrepreneur & visionary Zack Teperman is about to make history with the official launch of Licksy, the world's first-ever alcohol-infused lollipop brand!

After more than a year of research, testing, and collaboration with professional chemists, Licksy has achieved what no candy maker has before: keeping real alcohol infused inside a lollipop without it evaporating. The groundbreaking creation and formula has recently received full approval from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, clearing the way for its launch later this year.

Unlike novelty candies that mimic cocktail flavors, Licksy is made with real alcohol giving adults a fun, flavorful, and buzz-worthy experience in a single sweet treat. Each lollipop contains 2% alcohol and is available in three launch flavors: Watermelon Vodka, Apple Vodka, and Lemon Drop.

"We wanted to reinvent the way adults enjoy a drink," said Teperman. "Good times start with a lick! Imagine being on the dance floor, at a tailgate, at a sporting event or just out celebrating with friends... no spills, no mess, just a delicious lollipop that gives you a light buzz and a whole lot of fun."

Crafted in Kentucky but based out of Tennessee, Licksy's products are vegan, zero fat, gluten-free, and free of artificial dyes/colors. The lollipops are made using a proprietary formula ensuring the alcohol remains safely and stably infused within the candy — a feat no other company has achieved to date. "We've created something that's never existed before, and we can't wait for people to experience it. You won't even taste the alcohol, but you'll definitely feel the experience!" adds Teperman.

The official launch of Licksy is expected before the end of this year, and consumers can sign up for updates and early access at the link below.
