What is the best way to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday? BACON!!! And not just any ordinary bacon…bacon wrapped Little Smokies a.k.a Lincoln Logs.

1 cup Brown Sugar

Cookie Sheet

Looking for a way to celebrate President’s Day? Having a bunch of people over to reenact the crossing of the Delaware? If so, you need to make Washington’s Drunken Gummy Cherries!!!

What you will need:

Russian Standard Vodka (or any good vodka that doesn’t have a strong flavor)

Haribo Gummy Cherries

A glass dish or container

Plastic wrap

Place the gummy cherries in the glass dish. I used a 9x11 Pyrex baking dish because the cherries can be spread out in a single layer, but you can use any glass bowl, dish, or container.

Add Russian Standard Vodka

Completely cover the cherries and make sure there is an extra inch or two of vodka in the dish. These gummy cherries absorb a great deal of vodka.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 4-5 days. Make sure to stir every 8-12 hours and add more vodka if needed. Remember you cannot use too much vodka because any vodka left in the dish will be delicious gummy cherry flavored vodka.

4-5 days later you will have delicious and boozy gummy cherries.

WORD OF WARNING: These gummy cherries absorb a great deal of alcohol so tread lightly and imbibe slowly.
