Red Hot Pin-Up

Valentine’s Day is next week and instead of going with the norm of making ‘Love-tinis’ or any other cheesy cocktail, I decided to spice things up! Red Hots are one of my favorite candies and there’s always a surplus of them this time of year. I infused Sailor Jerry Rum with the Red Hot candies to make a lusty libation that’s delicious enough to enjoy any time of year!

…..

For Red Hot Infused Sailor Jerry Rum:

¾ cup Sailor Jerry Rum

1 Tbs Red Hot candies

 

Combine Sailor Jerry Rum and Red Hots in a small canning jar and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Shake occasionally to dissolve Red Hots and mix flavors.

Once the Red Hots completely dissolve you can store at room temperature or in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
