Oranges and Ghosty Berries

Huzzah! I kept a promise!

Ok, so the jar of oranges that had been sitting in my fridge soaking in UV Peach?

Destroyed.

We ate them pretty fast last night. They were delicious! Little mandarin oranges are perfect for drinks, or just alcohol infused munchies. They soak up booze really well, and hold the flavor too. I’ll have to try soaking cranberries in UV Peach too… Then I can combine the two for a Sex on the Beach fruit salad. Fucking yum. (Or… Oranges in Peach Schnapps, Cranberries in straight vodka? Yeah. I’m totally doing that…)

Now, alcohol infused fruit is pretty much for the taste. It’s fun to have fruit that makes your mouth a little tingly, and has a tiny kick to it. They go great in punch. Usually though, they aren’t destined to kick your ass and get you wasted. The oranges are more of an appetizer.

Which brings me to the strawberries… (of DOOM!)

Eldritch had made a pie a while back including strawberries. At one point, she put some Bacardi 151 in a container with strawberries. She wanted a really kick your ass kind of pie… The pie itself was tasty. Now, she said the strawberries weren’t bad the first week she put them in there. Obviously, they had a punch. 151 does not fuck around.

The downside?

The leftover strawberries were left in the 151 for about the same amount of time as the oranges. A few weeks.

Let me tell you what happened…

The strawberries died.

They were resurrected.

They mutated, died again, and have now come to haunt your dreams.

I am not kidding. Those fucking strawberries were OMGWTFHARSHITBURNSOMGITSFULLOFEVILEYOHOEWSewyoledh!!!1!!

Fucking yikes.

I highly do not recommend doing this. Those things are brutal, and the 151 turns the strawberries into some sort of evil incarnate.

On the plus side, Eldritch confirmed something that we’d seen at the local grocery store. We had seen moonshine in cute little jars on the shelf before. The ones with strawberries in it looked really weird. The strawberries were white.

As it turns out, strawberries really do lose their color if you let them sit in harsh stuff like that. Good to know. Worse to eat…
