4-5 pkts of skittles remove the green ones as this will discolour the drink add one litre of vodka.
shake the mix every day for a cuople of weeks until the skittle have dissovled then run through a coffee filter back into vodka bottle.



also doing the same with fox's glacier mints.

So is chocolate and peanut butter but I dont want it in my beer :wink: :wink: :wink:

Is it a student type drink toplad?(not wanting to stereo-type :lol: )

If you want a nice drink then make some Sloe gin(recipe in metric and imperial though :twisted: )

4 X 75cl bottles of cheapest gin you can get!

2lbs of sloes(pick after first frost...might be hard as most are already picked,so get them early in mid september then place in freezer overnight as this breaks down the meat of the berry)

500g Granulated sugar(use other types if you want to add different flavours)

Pierce or cut round the skin of the sloes and place in 5l water bottle with the sugar and all the bottles of gin.
Replace bottle lid and shake the hell out of the bottle everytime you walk past it for the next 2-3 months :lol:

Filter into the old gin bottles(depending how much meat breaks away from the berry,filters can clog real quick so it maybe worth filtering a few times using finer filters as you go)

Check on desired sweetness and add more sugar if needed(thats why I only add 500g to begin as putting in 1kg made it taste like Benolyn :shock: )

last i heard of skittles vodka, some 16 year old told me about it last year aparently all the 15 - 18 year olds drink it in the parks... after i made some paint stripper (8kg brewing sugar + alcotec 48 yeast and 22L water fermented for a week to around 20%) a friend of mine put about half a big pack of skittles in half a 1L bottle of the drink cuz we got bored and they completely dissolved within the hour and turned it dark green.... urg didnt have the balls to taste it in the end as it grew a head bigger than.... erm... something with a big foamy head.
