Things You'll Need:

A handle (1.75 liters, about a half gallon) of водка per bag of Skittles

A large bag of Skittles Конфеты (the "movie size" bag)

Each handle of водка (1.75 liters, about a half gallon) requires a large bag worth of Skittles, so if Ты plan on doing only one flavor for a flavorful vodka, you'll have to buy 5 large bags of Skittles.

Coffee filter или extremely clean t-shirt
Large funnel или strainer to hold filter

Steps:

1. Separate the Цвета of Skittles that Ты want to flavor the водка with. Many people choose to leave out the green, which is лайм, известь if Ты are using original Skittles, and purple, which is виноград in the original style, as they can create a weird taste combination или a less than appealing color for the final product. However, Ты can put them in if Ты want. If Ты don't mind mixed flavours, Ты can just skip this step.

2. Add six Skittles to 25ml of vodka. Keep swirling the mixture until the Skittles are almost completely dissolved. Note that the ratio of Skittles to водка varies from recipe to recipe. Ты should experiment to find your preferred mix before making larger bottles.

3. Filter out the remaining Skittle "insides". With single servings like this, Ты can decide which flavor(s) Ты like best and proceed to making bottles, if Ты desire.

Bottles:

1. Pour out some водка from a bottle to make room for Skittles.

2. Separate the Skittles by colour.

3. Add the Skittles (20-25 per 350 mL).

4. Let the mixture sit for a день или two. Shake occasionally so the flavour mixes well.

5. Strain out the Skittles using a filter, such as a paper coffee filter или a clean t-shirt.

6. Refrigerate overnight.

Bottles (Method 2)

1. Separate the colours from 5 bags of 200g Skittles.

2. Using 5 x 70cl bottles, pour 30cl of водка into a jug and fill each bottle with skittles.

3. Place bottles in your Dish washer and put on an intensive cycle.

4. 1/3 of the way through the cycle shake all bottles vigorously.

5. 2/3 of the way through the cycle shake all bottles vigorously.

6. Once the cycle has finished, shake all bottles vigorously and then place in the freezer for 2 hours.

7. Once the водка is cold, it should be syrupy so take a sieve, line it with Kitchen-Roll или a coffee filter, place above a large jug and pour your водка through slowly.

8. Once the first bottle has been filtered, wash out the bottle and pour your skittles водка back in.

9. Repeat the above two steps for all bottles, ensuring everything is cleaned between uses to prevent colour contamination.

10. Place all of the bottles in the freezer until Ты are ready to drink. Don't worry, the водка won't freeze.

Tips

Another approach is to buy five bottles of водка and five bags of Skittles. Then separate the Конфеты and use one flavour for each bottle. (Or get four bottles and an empty, to allow room for the skittles.)

If Ты want to make it еще quickly, cut the skittles in half before putting them into vodka. Shake every 15 minutes. They'll dissolve in an час instead of a day. или Ты could just scoop them out when the colour dissolves.

The лайм, известь green Skittles add a sourness to the drink, so if Ты want one that's sweet, leave the green ones out and add them to their own bottle for a кислый лайм, известь vodka.

If using a t-shirt to strain, be sure fabric softener или a dryer sheet had not been used with it, lest Ты get some extra (unwanted) flavouring.

Start with small amount of водка and Skittles at first to experiment which combination of taste Форс-мажоры Ты best. Ты can carry this out with larger amount of водка and Skittles once Ты have decided that Ты enjoy the taste.
