Skittles Vodka







Ingredients:
1.75 liter vodka (avoid the cheapest brands)
1 lb. bag skittles

You will also need:
5 flasks (8.5 oz.) each
5 empty water bottles
Coffee filters

Directions:
Separate the skittles into bowls or piles based on their color (each color gets it own bowl/pile). 

Fill each water bottle with 6 oz. vodka.  Put one color skittles into one of the bottles.  Repeat with all of the colors and all of the bottles (each bottle should be filled with a single color of skittles).

Put the cover on all of the bottles and give them a good shake.  Set aside for a few hours or over night (shake them once or twice again during this time to help them dissolve).  

Put a funnel in a large measuring cup and line the funnel with 4 coffee filters.  Pour the vodka from the water bottles through the coffee filters (if you see white stuff floating on the top after filtering, add another coffee filter and re-strain).  Each color will need to be strained with new coffee filters.  

Pour the vodka from the measuring cup into the flasks (1 color per flask).

Chill the 5 flasks of Skittle Vodka in the freezer for several hours or overnight.

Note~ You can drink this straight or...
-Mix with 7 Up, ginger ale or sprite to taste
-Mix with cola or diet cola to taste
-On the rocks
-Mix with fruit juice to taste
-In a chilled martini glass
