General Comments: I'm claiming a small amount of credit for this recipe, for no better reason than I took two clearly sub-standard recipes and combined them to create something much better. If you're particularly interested in the kinds of mixtures that I leave by the roadside, you can remove either the lemonade (which has the advantage of making it stronger) or the grenadine (which makes it look a bit nicer, but removes the taste of jelly babies, which I would suggest was pretty clearly crucial to the whole damn operation).
In any event, in its current incarnation, it's very tasty indeed. It's not massively reminiscent of jelly babies, but I can see how the link was made, and jelly babies aren't exactly high on my list of awesome sweets in any case (blackcurrant and liquorice on the other hand...) It's a bit murky looking, though, which has cost it vital points.
