Yeah, I know it sound weird, but for those who love Skittles and Vodka, this could be the ultimate drink!
According to Mix That Drink, a website that offers cocktail recipes, infusing vodka with Skittles is a very popular trend and they teach us how to do it.
Here is what you'll need:
- One 1.75 liter bottle of vodka
- Five 8.5 ounce flasks or bottles
- One 1 lb bag of Skittles
- Five empty plastic water bottles
- A funnel
- Bowls for separating the Skittles into flavors
- A measuring cup
- Coffee filters or paper towels
- Separate Skittles into flavors: You need about 60 of each color.
- Set up your infusion bottles: Fill your water bottles with six ounces of vodka.
- Add the Skittles: Pour the Skittles of one flavor into one infusion bottle, then pour the next flavor Skittles into the next infusion bottle, and so on until all five bottles have a pile of Skittles soaking in the vodka.
- Start Shaking: 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. NOTICE: You'll see a lot of white muck floating at the top, don't worry you'll take care of that in the next step.
- Strain: Put a funnel inside a measuring cup and put about four or five coffee filters inside the funnel. Then, pour one of the infusions into this strainer setup. At the end you'll have about eight ounces of Skittle infused vodka. Take the liquid from the measuring cup and pour it into a flask (using a clean funnel). Repeat each step for every flavor.
- Chill and Serve: Now you've got five flasks or bottles of Skittles infused vodka. All you have to do now is stick them in the freezer for several hours, and they are ready to be served.
CAUTION: These are very strong on their own -- nearly pure Vodka.
For a Halloween party you could try different bottles. You can be creative and serve your neon-based colored concoctions in spooky lab flasks or potion bottles.
Cheers!
