Skittles vodka?

We have made skittle vodka before. not for our wedding just for a house party because it looked fun and yummy (it was!) we just put loads of skittles in some vodka (the more the better) let it disolve over night and drunk it like that but there was loads of floaty bits! i read somewhere that you should filter it with coffee filters that you buy for your coffee machine. i think its just a case of trial and error. get some vodka and try some differant methods until your happy with the result, then u can drink the ones that go wrong haha xxx

Ooh really? I'm an absolute idiot cause I didn't realise they were made with actual skittles in the bottles, thought it was flavourings and colourings etc haha!

Going to get experimenting, thank you!!

It was Gina on here who made them recently- agree they looked amazing! Yes secret is to filter and then filter again and again to removd the bits! And I think remove one of the colours as it makes it go muddy?

Ahh was it thanks Ruth!
Yeah just love the colours
Will have to get experimenting and filtering, and of course sampling haha Will try some more googling now I have a better idea what to do! Thanks again

To make it you literally just add skittles to the vodka and leave it until it dissolves. My friend made homemade blueberry gin once as a wedding favour and put them in these small corked jars, it was ace!

If you want all different coloured ones you have to sort the colours obviously and if the purple and green ones go in together it looks like scummy pond water! Echo everyone else on the filtering.

Quick comment from me, skittles vodka looks amazing, but for the likes of me I can't actually have it.

Skittles are not vegetarian or vegan, so if you have vegetarian guests it is something to consider. xx

*Stupid question*

Does skittles vodka actually taste like skittles (or any different to normal vodka)?

I've never tried it, but am considering giving it a go with absinth! If it doesn't it'll be the food colouring route for me.

It tastes like sugary vodka.

I think it might work better with ingredients with a more distinct flavour. Apparently, Werther's Originals is nice. Or any number of herbs (Basil and pepper sounds fab). Can find recipes using Cherry Drops/Sherbert Lemons/other boiled fruit sweets....

Mmm yum skittle vodka! Yeah I can't remember who the lady was who did it a little while ago... Looked ace though you just leave to dissolve overnight in vodka. Could always do a few practises and drink them all for yourself!!

Thanks FTLOMB ?

Oh my... They look fabulous!

Ahh Gina it was your flashes I seen & loved! They look amazing!!!
Definitely going to try making some and filter them well, think our guests would love them!
Omg they're not vegan..i'm vegetarian and never even realised they're not suitable lol Haven't actually had skittles in so long so that's probably why!
That's my tasting out the window lol, i'd still make them for everyone else though as the colouring is fab & I like the look of the pretty wee jars
I like the advice about the flavouring, as I said I always thought there was more to it then just pure vodka and skittles so I might actually try some flavouring or different ones for taste if I think they're too strong. Not that too many of my guests would mind the strength tbh Going to get experimenting and see how they go, thanks a lot everyone! Especially Gina who gave me the idea! x

LOVE this idea but our venue won't let us have any alcohol favours
