Rum Soaked Gummy Cola Bottles via TheFNDCdotcom

This is a pretty ingenious idea if I do say so myself. Now, we've all heard of vodka, gummy bears, but never something such as Rum and Gummy Bears. The people of Drinks with Diablo use the Haribo Cola Gummy Bottles, which when soaked with Rum gives it a nice Rum and Coke Flavor. Pretty nice concept, right?

Recipe
For each package of Cola Bottles,
use 1 to 1.25 oz of rum.
Let soak for at least 24-48 hours

Diddy sets bootleggers straight on Ciroc knockoffs (ImitationCiroc)



I'm a bit late to the party on this post, but it's cool. As we all know, Ciroc has been bootlegged a number of times. Do you remember the Watermelon Ciroc snafu?

Of course, Diddy definitely doesn't want to impugn the brand or shorten the pockets of his 50/50 deal as Global Brand Ambassador and marketer. On the serious side, bootleg alcohol is very unsafe and can cause more than horrible headaches in the morning due to nasty sugar supplies and bad filtration/distillation of the alcohol. Be careful, all you people. Remember, there are only 4 Flavors of Ciroc: Blue Dot, Red Berry, Coconut, and Peach.

Speaking of headaches, please checkout the Aquahydrate by Mark Wahlberg and Diddy to keep yourself hydrated through your workout, your normal day, or your tipsy night out!

1/4 apple
1/2 orange
