Once the sugar reaches the proper temperature, remove it from the heat and remove the candy thermometer. If you want to color your bubble sugar, add a drop or two of food coloring at this point. You can stir just a few strokes, to make swirled bubble sugar, or stir until it is fully incorporated.

Tilt the baking sheet at a slight angle and carefully begin pouring the sugar syrup on the top of the sheet, so it runs down the parchment paper. The alcohol will make the sugar bubble up.
