To prepare a sparkling rum runner recipe, first you need to gather your ingredients. First, you'll need the following ingredients: 14 cup (60 milliliters) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons (120 grams) water, 1 teaspoon (2.5 grams), and 1 tsp (0.02 ml) vanilla extract. Pour the sugar mixture into the jar and shake it until it's completely dissolved. Then, pour the boiling water over the mixture and stir it to dissolve it completely. Once the water has boiled for at least 10 minutes, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
