fun alcoholic ... drink things?

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 16:35

Well, im going another lan this weekend, its one i organise with another couple of people, and we allow alcohol as BYOB ... YAY!!!!!

so i usually make something alcoholic to take down with me for people to sample.

so far, ive made skitltes vodka:

and vodka gummy bears (which quite a few of the OcUk staff can vouch for, are blooming strong!!! because we were in a hot enviroment, they melted into a pourable jelly stuff, it was horrible, but amazing.

so what can i do this year? something that can be done in a few days (we will be sampling it on saturday.

the more quirky the better tbh!

Not sure if it would work but what about sherbert or something? Did skittles Vodka myself a few years back - was epic

Apparently using werthers originals for toffee vodka works very well.

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 16:45

one of the other ones we have is from our danish guy, he does this really salty licorice, with some danish alcohol, it looks like mud water, but is very strong, its always a laugh when that starts flowing.

As its the danish guys LAST LAN =( i want to make sure we get him in a bit of a state (whilst drinking responsibly of course

)

i thought palma violets or something like that?

im not sure if sherbert would work, but il have a look into it

ooou, thats an idea! i can always grab a bag of those to try

Probably something like this. I saw loads of it on sale when I was in Sweden.

Let me know how the werthers thing goes. I've been meaning to try it for some time

Buy a bottle of whisky
Drink 1/2 of it
Add sugar
Add strawberries
Wait a few days
Strawberries turn white
Tastes amazing

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 17:01

yeah thats the stuff salmiakki!!

not a problem, im going shopping in a min so il grab some, il probably just do a small bottle of the werthers.

anyone else has ideas, it doesnt have to be vodka, as long as it can be bought from a supermarket im happy

That skittles vodka looks epic. Is it easy to make? Whats involved?

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 17:51

skittles and urm... vodka

to make it i got a large bottle of vodka, separated all the colours then split the vodka into 6 bottles and dumped the skittles in them.

i left them for about a day, shaking them every now and again. you get a horrible paste floating on the top of them, but dont worry about that.

next ya get some coffee filters, or kitchen towwel or something else that you can use as a filter, and filter out the sludge and whats left of the skittles.

tip them back into the bottles and your done!

this is how we were doing them

6 shots 1 after another, in which ever order you prefer (the second 1 in is orange,, the flash makes it funny though)

Craig1981 · 12 Jun 2013 at 18:00

Those are pretty big "shots"

But they do look delicious as hell! I need to think about trying that sometime!

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 18:02

we just go up to the line on what ever glasses/cup/vases are available. makes it more interesting.

Vodka jelly shots? They're pretty easy to make.

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 19:43

i like your thinking weringo

this is what i bought i got 2 bottles of vodka...

i should be able to do something good with it

Craig1981 · 12 Jun 2013 at 20:59

I've made pear drop and cola cube vodka a couple of times before. Pear drop vodka is very nice!

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 21:49

i was looking for pear drops but couldt see them, so thought id go for rhubarb and custard instead

rhubarb and custard vodka sounds awesome!!

davido_labido · 12 Jun 2013 at 22:42

i might actually try break the rhubarb side from the custard side, see if i can get 2 seperate flavours

Razor-BladE · 13 Jun 2013 at 02:50

I've made chocolate vodka before. I don't know why, but it seemed to weaken the alcohol a lot, but it tasted nice!

Martynt74 · 13 Jun 2013 at 08:52

I made skittles vodka but was left disappointed. Was about 6 months ago and still have most of it left.

Just all seems really pale not bright and yummy looking like yours!

I agree with this statement. Almost as good as Irn Bru tequila.
