You may be asking yourself “what is boozy fruit” and “what is it good for.” What you should be asking yourself is “what is boozy fruit” and “how can I get some?“. Well I’m gonna answer alllllllllllllllll of that with these mason jar Boozy Fruit Jars!
As you know, I’m a parent. Like….a parent first. I parent the crap out of my day every day. I get up parent, go to bed parent, I parent, parent, parent. But RECENTLY we have made some friends, oh yes we have! And they have been the kind of friends that actually want to hang out with us and play games and have a drink. You mean I’m NOT just a parent? Well color me confused. Now my entire life I have not been a drinker. I am not an anti-drinker I just like very little alcohol. But now that I have friends, I have figured out that everyone with a drink in their hands around a rousing game of Cards of Humanity is probably the best way to unwind for the weekend EVER. (or if you prefer something more petite for your drunken excursions, you can learn how to make jello shots)
And rum in your fruit just expands that fun and also makes you look fancy.
Boozy Fruit Recipe
You need:
- Red- Cherries
- Orange- Cantaloupe
- Yellow- Pineapple
- Green- Honey dew
- Blue- Blueberries
- Purple- Seedless Grapes
You will also need:
- Mini Mason Jars – if you get these too big you will be pouring a LOT of alcohol. Mine are somewhere in the middle of full size alcoholic and shot glass. I got them at Hobby Lobby.
- Rum– I chose rum because it just pairs well with fruit and there are SO Many flavors. Walking through the liquor store was like a kid in a candy shop. Did you know they have strawberry rum? Peach? Birthday cake?? I chose Blueberry Lemonade Rum by Cruzan. It’s delicious.
How to make Boozy Fruit Jars
First, Cut up your fruit. If you are going to DRINK from your mason jar, you are better off using smaller fruits. If you are going to take the fruit out and eat it off a toothpick, you might want to use bigger chunks. For fruits like grapes that had a skin, I cut in half to make sure I was maximizing the alcohol soaking in.
After your jars are filled up, just pour your favorite alcohol like rum, vodka or even a Moscato! I have no idea how long this will keep, but I’m not sure you should be worried about having any left overs either.
