Ingredients

  • 16 ounces (473ml) Vodka for each jar
  • ½ cup (217g) Skittles candy use one color in each jar

Instructions

  • Separate the 5 colors of Skittles into different jars. This recipe makes one jar of Skittles vodka, so you would need to repeat the recipe for each color and each jar you make. 
  • Add one color of Skittles candies into a jar, then pour in the vodka.
  • Cover the jar with the lid and shake well. Then refrigerate for about 5 days. After 2 days, turn the jar upside down, then turn them right side up again the day before they are done
  • Strain the infused vodka through a cheesecloth or fine sieve before serving the Skittles drinks chilled.

Notes

  • Make sure to group the Skittles candy by color before making the vodka. Otherwise, you might end up with a rather interesting (and not in good way) color. It will still taste good, though. But I recommend definitely doing one color per jar only.
  • Feel free to add more or less Skittles to each jar to your preference.
  • Feel free to use the brand of vodka you have on hand.
  • However, using a high-quality vodka will result in a better outcome.
  • Using cheap vodka with terrible flavor will result in a terrible outcome. In other words, the vodka you choose makes all the difference in the quality of the final product.
  • These shots are best served chilled.
  • Friends, these colorful and sweet drinks go down easily, so please make sure to drink responsibly and be mindful of your consumption.
  • Storage - keep in a tightly sealed jar inside the fridge for up to one month.
