I thought vodka didn't freeze - hence using it as anti freeze in my
windscreen washer bottle.  or am i being stupid?

You could always just dust them again - it's only icing sugar.

A freind who did this injected individual jelly babies with vodka but
that's quite laborious.

The alternative is to make vodka jelly. IIRC (and, unfortunately, the
process of making vodka jellies is diametrically opposite to the ability
to remember afterwards) use only 3/4 of the amount of liquid that is
require don the packet and, of that, make half of it vodka (so if you
normally need a liter than you'll need approx 750-800 ml of liquid of
which 375-400ml will be water and 375-400ml will be vodka).

Then pour into little man shaped mould et voila.

However they'll be much more wobbly than Jelly Babies so perhaps the
answer is to go to a catering store and try and find catering gelatin
which, I belive, can be made much more solid. You'll need to flavour it
though.
