Everyone knows about drunken gummy bears, but we’re taking it up a notch.

Try any of these 10 foods that you could soak in alcohol, for a new pm delectable surprise.

1. Plums

Plums. A highly sophisticated, yet highly underestimated fruit. Plums were one of th first fruits domesticated by humans, yet they are often forgotten. Plums have a mild sweet flavor and pair well with poultry. Their soft flesh makes them ideal for soaking in alcohol. If you’ve never enjoyed a plum, soak in an alcohol of your choice (or just start with vodka) and you might just have found your new favorite fruit.

 

2. Angel food cake

We know what you’re thinking, moist right? It’s difficult to find someone who doesn’t love a good angel food cake, and it’s difficult not to appreciate its ultra moist, spongy, texture that lends itself to easily soak in alcohol. Angel food cake is not overly sweet, which makes it easy to soak in a flavored alcohol. This might just become your new go-to romantic dessert for two.

 

3. Bananas

 

If bananas don’t immediately take you away to a tropical getaway, soaking them in alcohol will. Bananas marinated in rum and cooked over a skillet will become an instant delicasse. Who needs a five-star restaurant when you can make bananas fosters when you can make it right at home?

 

4. Cherries

5. Watermelon

When it comes to summertime, watermelon might be the number one alcoholic fruit. It is most commonly soaked in tequila or vodka, but it’s crisp flesh made of majority water lends itself to a variety of alcohols. Soak and slice the watermelon to enjoy this cool, crispy, flavorful treat.

 

6. Cupcakes

One recipe that we highly recommend is Pineapple Malibu upside down cupcakes infused with Pineapple Ciroc and Pineapple Malibu Rum. Mouthwatering, refreshing, just like an island paradise.

 

7. Strawberries

Strawberries. Oh how we love strawberries. These already-romantic, heart-shaped, little fruits become even more romantic when you soak them in Champagne.

8. Green apple

 

If you love caramel apples, but don’t love the mess, try green apples soaked in caramel vodka. It’s not your average state fair treat, but it does pack the delicious, sweet flavor you’re looking for, with a slight kick.

 

9. Twizzlers

Soak twizzlers or red licorice or your choice in kiwi strawberry vodka and offer to your 21+ movie night guests. You’ll be surprised at how quickly they’ll be reaching for more.
