Skittles Vodka

Ingredients:
7 1/2 cups of vodka
5 bags (2.17 oz) of original Skittles
5 Mason jars with lids

Directions:
Start by separating each color of Skittle into it’s own jar. Cover each jar with 1 1/2 cups of vodka. Put a seal and lid on each jar. Give it a few shakes.

Allow to sit for 1-3 days. Shake whenever you feel like it to dissolve the sugar. When ready, most of the Skittles will be dissolved, and you’ll see a thick foam on the top of the jars. You may see some chunks on the bottom of the jar and that’s okay too. That’s part of the sugars and ‘other ingredients’. We’re going to get rid of all that, so don’t worry about it.

When ready to use or chill, strain each jar through cheesecloth or an old t-shirt. I strain them into a bowl and pour the contents right back in the Mason jars.

The red. It’s my favorite and always the first I drown my sorrows in. I like it straight or mixed with Club Soda. Yellow, Green or Orange is great with a lemon-lime soda.
