Right, cheapo bottle of vodka, check.

Apologies for not reading through the whole thread (quite long), I have a 70cl bottle, how many bags of Skittles do I need? And to confirm, I'm only making one bottle, so I can put them all in, except for green?

Muchos gracias!

From what I have read 5-6 small packets to a litre.

I am going to make some for a friends BBQ/Party, got some cheap nasty vodka that's about to go through a brita filter

Mmm:

It goes down very, very easy.

What is it? Just orange skittle vodka?

Mines finished today, put yellow, orange and red in.

Used a siv and kitchen roll to filter the vedge fat and it looks very nice

In the freezer atm

Mine? Thats Red, Orange and Yellow mix. The citrus taste covers the taste of the red ones (strawberry?) unfortunately. I'd speerate them up individually next time.

Haha, yeah. Party tomorrow night, was thinking of buying some tomorrow morning and having a crack at it, probably left it a bit late though

Yea you need atleast 2 days for it to 'brew'

Mine looks the exact same in proper light, heres a pic on my phone cam:

Dunks · 11 Apr 2008 at 23:11

Damn, looks good. Pah, 2 days? I might just do it anyway, it'll be getting drunk either way!

Raikiri · 12 Apr 2008 at 22:00

Started mine earlier and it's nearly done already, about 300ml in each with 55-60 skittles (one red/purple the other orange/yellow).

Using plastic bottles atm so it looks a bit crap but it should be good once it's all filtered.

Raikiri · 13 Apr 2008 at 09:06

Complete

And no, I won't be trying it at 9AM as much as I would like to

I am planning to do this for a May bank holiday house party.

I'm away in SA for 2 weeks though, would leaving them to infuse for that long mess them up?

I was thinking of doing strawberry skittle, lemon skittle, and marshmallow (I saw this online) ones.

Should I just wait and do it in the week running up to the party after I get back?

I find the longer you leave it the less vodka harshness is left so leaving it for that amount of time should be fine, ive had mine for a few months before

Well I just bought 5 bottles of ASDA own vodka, should be interesting. Needless to say I looked like an alcoholic/weirdo purchasing that, 5 giant bags of skittles, a funnel and some filters!

NotAGolf · 26 Apr 2008 at 19:16

I'm up for trying this. Exams finish in just under 3 weeks so I should have time to brew some up

Please excuse me for not reading through the whole thread (too busy studying for exams...honest!), but for a single 70cl bottle how many packs of skittles do I need? And did I see something about not using green ones? Whats the best colour to use?

Thanks.

I don't know if you've ever had that stuff before but it's the worst vodka on the planet. :\

PureAppleJuice · 26 Apr 2008 at 19:29

Oh dear. I'm sure it can't be worse than Tesco own; though £6.77 is cheap for a bottle. I'm hoping the taste of sugar will block out the taste that is ASDA own vodka.

alexakasloth · 26 Apr 2008 at 19:31

It tastes like paint thinner... only it doesn't thin paint :\

PureAppleJuice · 26 Apr 2008 at 19:42

Ah just like Sainsbury's basics then, i'm sure I can live with that
