Sounds like you made some form of rum.
This is why it's not recommended to put founding colonies in sugar water test-tube setups.

Well, more like just foul liquid not resembling anything a human could drink. The only reason to fill a tube with sugar water is if your ants drink so much of it that it doesn't have time to ferment.

I'm giving my ants sugary stuff on a small ball of cotton right now, seems to work ok
don't have enough ants to make a test tube of sugar water worthwhile at the moment
