It took the blogging world by storm, and I love me some vodka (not to mention CANDY), so of course I had to give it a shot.
I bought the prettiest cheap Vodka I could find.
Newman and I had to separate all of our skittles by color. One for me, one for the vodka!
I took old water bottles and filled them all with their different flavors, then filled them with vodka
I let them soak overnight, shaking them up every once in a while to hasten the process of dissolution. Once the Skittles were dissolved, they formed a kind of gross white scrim on the top of the liquid. To get rid of this, I strained each color through a coffee filter. It was very sticky and messy, and I had red fingertips for the entire weekend.
Time to taste the fruits (haha) of my labor! Since cherry is my fave flavor, I tried that one first. I mixed each color with diet 7up.
Oh yeah, taste the freakin' rainbow! That is some delicious stuff, highly recommended! I tried every flavor, and cherry was definitely the best. It's like adult candy. Yum! One thing I didn't think to try was mixing flavors: I bet cherry-lemon or cherry-grape would have been pretty good.
This whole vodka-infusing idea is a pretty cool DIY. The options are endless! Nerds Vodka! Mike & Ike Vodka! Sour cherry coconut rum, holy Moses!
