One day, at work, one of my colleges suggested I do licorice vodka. His idea was to put the vodka inside of the licorice. I explained to him that it was a good idea, but it would leak out once it was bitten into. The other option was to mix it with jello to harden it up. And so began my quest.
I went with any old licorice I could find, so I decided to go with a no name brand. Of course I am a lot more selective with my ladies.
