Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Silicone mat
  • Candy thermometer
  • Lollipop sticks

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hard liquor
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 splash flavoring optional
  • Food coloring optional of your choice

Instructions

  • Lay down silicone mats to use to pour the lollipops once they’re ready.
  • Stir together the water, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan until just mixed. Then, let the mixture come to a boil without stirring it at all. Continue testing with a candy thermometer until it reaches 320F.
  • Once it’s reached 320F, add in the liquor, give it a very quick stir to mix. And then, let it reach 310F again.
  • Remove from heat and spoon onto the silicone mat, while quickly making a swirl or two with food coloring dipped on the end of the lollipop stick.
  • Lay the stick in place to cool. You want to heat the liquor as little as possible so it doesn’t boil out all of the alcohol. The mixture should be solid within 10-20 minutes. If it doesn’t completely harden, it didn’t reach hard crack phase, so you will need to adjust to cook it longer.

Notes

  • Serving size depends on how big and small you want the lollipops to be. You can make anywhere between 10-25 lollipops.
