Here's another fun experiment I tried with infused vodka. This time it's Skittles!
The Prep
You're going to need a liter of vodka. (I once again went with my faithful standby, Gordon's) and a large bag of Skittles. You will also want to have several empty bottles, bowls, and coffee filters

handy.
The Process
First, open up your Skittles and sort them by color into bowls. (Feel free to eat some as you go). Next, clean a bottle for each color and add vodka. I filled a 12 oz. bottle about halfway with vodka. After that's finished add the Skittles - one color per bottle.

Now it's time to shake. *At this point things get tedious* Shake, shake, shake these bottles until the Skittles are dissolved. This takes quite a while. I would suggest inviting people over for some kind of dance party and mandating that they carry a bottle at all times. This might make time go faster.
After the candy is all dissolved there will be some white goop floating in the bottles. This needs to be filtered out. I suggesting pouring your concoctions through coffee filters. Just make sure you use a different filter for each color. After each color is strained pour it into a clean bottle.
The Review
Drinking this stuff straight is a surefire path to gut rot and most likely a headache. It is sickly sweet all alone. However, by adding Sprite or some other non-cola you will have created a sweet, tasty drink that looks good too.
