Make Your Own Skittles Vodka

What you need:
* One 1.75 liter bottle of vodka (you don’t need the most expensive vodka, but do avoid the cheap ones)
* Five 8.5 ounce flasks or bottles
* One 1 pound bag of Skittles
* Five empty plastic water bottles
* A funnel
* Bowls for separating the Skittles into flavors
* A measuring cup (not pictured)
* Coffee filters or paper towels

You’ll also want to cover your workspace with newspaper or freezer paper - this infusion can get messy.

Step 1:
Start by simply separating the Skittles into flavors. You want 60 of each.

Step 2:
Fill your water bottles with 6 ounces of vodka each. It doesn’t need to be exact - you can always even it out later by pouring in a bit more vodka to the ones that come out with less.

Step 3:
Pour the Skittles of one flavor into one infusion bottle, then pour the next flavor of Skittles into the next infusion bottle, and so on until all five bottles have a pile of Skittles soaking in the vodka.

Step 4:
Now your infusion bottles all have Skittles in the bottom. Give each bottle a good shake - the more, the better. After shaking them, set them aside for a few hours. It’s a good idea to shake them again then, especially if you’re making a bigger batch.

Step 5:
There are a number of ways to strain this stuff and get all the white gunk out. Put a funnel inside a measuring cup.

Put four coffee filters in the funnel. It’s hard to say exactly how many you’ll need, since not all coffee filters are exactly the same. Orange and green needed more filtration than the others.

Repeat this process for each flavor.

Step 6:
Freeze and enjoy!

Now, these are pretty strong on their own - nearly pure vodka. They are also very sweet. You can drink them straight, served up in a chilled martini glass, or you can use them in a cocktail:

* Mix them with ginger ale, 7-up or Sprite to taste
* Mix them with cola to taste (diet cola cuts the sweetness a little)
* Serve them on the rocks to water it down a little
* Some people mix them with fruit juice. I didn’t try this, because to me the Skittles were plenty of sweetness for my taste buds.
* Everyone’s taste varies - there are so many directions you can take this drink in, you really should try anything that sounds good to you!

Cheers!
