Skittles Vodka - How & What flavour combinations should I use?

RandomTom · 4 Mar 2008 at 16:08

This is my first foray into the skittles vodka venture. After numerous googling and ocuk thread reading, many recipes differ and many styles of brewing leave me puzzled. I only have:

35cl of Vodka.
195g of Skittles.

I am definitely NOT using the green ones, but I'm unsure whether I should use each colour in one session (being; red, purple, orange and yellow) or whether I should just use red and purple in this mix. I'm tempted to go get more vodka but for now what should I mix?

Also how many skittles do I put in? Thanks.

Skittles vodka sounds awesome, I don't know what colours to use though, hence the thread.

I concur! And when you leave it in the freezer it becomes the most glorious alcoholic syrup

I'd do a bottle for each colour, along with a fox's glacier mints bottle too!

Red and purple but I've heard that purple adds a not so nice colour, so I might use red and orange. Decisions...

Have bad memories of being made to down or bin a bottle of skittle vodka with a mate at Leeds festival a few years back. Shudder.

I normally take out the yellows and greens and stick everything else in - taste and colour are fine (it's the greens you've got to be careful of colour-wise). Skittles vodka is awesome.

I'm intrigued.....

Use red and orange then, thats what id use.

Red and purple gives a funny colour but tastes good, orange by itself it brilliant too.

We just ate the yellow/green ones, didn't put them into the vodka!

And it has to be left for two days? I'd get impatient.

A mate made some with the yellow and green ones, and it tasted just like lemon and lime. It was awesome

. I made some using the red, yellow and orange ones and IMO it wasn't as good.

Skittles Vodka is old news. Smarties Vodka is actually where it's at.

Next week...next week...

So I have my vodka filling half a 70cl bottle at the moment, how many red and orange skittles should I put in?
