Ingredients for Skittles Vodka
- 180 ml (approximately ¾ cup) of high-quality vodka
- Candies
How to Make Skittles Vodka
- Separate Skittles by color. You'll need approximately 60 Skittles total (about 10-12 per color).
- Gently crush 60 Skittles using a mortar and pestle or a ziplock bag and rolling pin. This will help release their flavor and color more effectively.
- In a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle, combine the crushed Skittles with 180 ml (approximately ¾ cup) of high-quality vodka.
- Seal the jar or bottle tightly and gently shake to combine.
- Store in a cool, dark place for 24 hours (1440 minutes), shaking gently once or twice during that time. The longer it infuses, the more intense the flavor will be. (Adjust time to your preference).
- Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined funnel into a clean bottle. Gently press on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Discard the solids and transfer the Skittles-infused vodka to your desired bottle or container. Chill thoroughly before serving.
- Enjoy responsibly and in moderation! This infused vodka can be used in cocktails, or even enjoyed on its own with ice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
