Hi Karen. Wow, what a good idea... liquer lollipops. I tried to find a recipe that incluced liquer, but was not successful. However, below I have posted a basic recipe for homemade lollipops. This recipe calls for 1 cup of water. I am thinking you could substitute a liquer for the water.. what do you think? I would love to know if you try it. Hope it helps.

Lollipop Recipe:
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup 1 cup water 2 teaspoons candy flavoring oil, any flavor 1/4 teaspoon liquid food coloring (any color)
lollipop molds - any shape lollipop sticks sucker bags twist ties
Prepare molds by lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray and inserting sucker sticks. In a large saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring. When syrup temperature reaches 260 degrees F., add color. Do not stir; boiling action will incorporate color into syrup. Remove from heat at 300 degrees F. or when drops of syrup from hard, brittle threads in cold water. After boiling action ceases, add flavoring oil and stir. Pour syrup into lightly oiled lollipop molds and allow to cool at room temperature (do not refrigerate). Remove from molds and wrap in individual plastic sucker bags and tie with a twist tie. Depending on mold size, this recipe will make about 30 - 40 suckers.
