These DIY lollipops are adults-only and adorable. Perfect for parties and big nights out, these boozy suckers taste and look good with an interesting marbled effect. From Sugar and Cloth, the homemade lollies even make a creative Valentine's Day gift -- or better yet, Galentine's Day treats.
If you want to give these DIY lollipops a spin, you will need hard liquor like clear rum or tequila, water, sugar and corn syrup. Adding extra flavor is optional, but peppermint is a refreshing choice. You can also add whatever food coloring hues you prefer (the blog went with a whimsical assortment). You will require silicon mats and a candy thermometer as well. For an easier version, you could try melting Jolly Ranchers and adding alcohol.
