Skittles Vodka Tutorial

by Jen

Infusing vodka with Skittles is a very popular trend right now. There are a couple of different ways to do it. My way involves separating all the Skittles into their separate flavors and making five different bottles of Skittles vodka.

final

For this project, you’ll need:

ingredients

  • One 1.75 liter bottle of vodka (I used Stoli – you don’t need the most expensive vodka, but do avoid the cheap ones)
  • Five 8.5 ounce flasks or bottles (I got mine from The Container Store. Also check out these from Amazon. For a Halloween party, serve these neon-colored concoctions in spooky lab flasks or potion bottles.)
  • One 1 pound bag of Skittles
  • Five empty plastic water bottles
  • A funnel
  • Bowls for separating the Skittles into flavors
  • A measuring cup (not pictured)
  • Coffee filters or paper towels

You’ll also want to cover your workspace with newspaper or freezer paper – this infusion can get messy. If you’re making a different sized batch, here’s the formula you need to know: I used 60 Skittles to 6 ounces of vodka, which yields about 8 ounces of infused vodka. If you want to make 1.5 times that, or 3 times that, just multiply your amounts.

Step 1: Separate Skittles into Flavors

Start by simply separating the Skittles into flavors. You want 60 of each.
separating

Step 2: Setting up your Infusion Bottles

Fill your water bottles with 6 ounces of vodka each. It doesn’t need to be exact – you can always even it out later by pouring in a bit more vodka to the ones that come out with less.

Step 3: Add the Skittles

Pour the Skittles of one flavor into one infusion bottle, then pour the next flavor of Skittles into the next infusion bottle, and so on until all five bottles have a pile of Skittles soaking in the vodka.

orangeYou could certainly be more sophisticated than I was here, and use a funnel to pour the Skittles of each flavor into one of the bottles. The reason I did it this way was that I felt it would be easier to wash each flavor of Skittles off my hands before moving onto the next one than it than to get that flavor out of the funnel each time – that plastic tends to hold onto the flavors, skin doesn’t.

Step 4: Shake ‘em, shake ‘em, shake ‘em

shakingNow your infusion bottles all have Skittles in the bottom. Give each bottle a good shake – the more, the better. In my picture here, you can see that the colored candy coating has already rubbed off into the vodka, but the white insides of the Skittles still have a lot of dissolving to do. After shaking them, set them aside for a few hours. It’s a good idea to shake them again then, especially if you’re making a bigger batch. My Skittles all dissolved overnight.

Once they’re all dissolved, you’ll notice a lot of white muck floating at the top. We’ll take care of this in Step 6.

infusion

Step 5: Strain

funnelandcupThere are a number of ways to strain this stuff and get all the white gunk out. Some people prefer paper towels, but I used coffee filters and found they worked just as well. I put a funnel inside a measuring cup.

coffeefiltersThen I put four coffee filters in the funnel. It’s hard to say exactly how many you’ll need, since not all coffee filters are exactly the same. I’ll tell you one thing I did learn, though: orange and green needed more filtration than the others. I discovered this when I thought I was finished, and found a little bit of white stuff still floating in those two flavors. No problem, though: I just strained them again through one more coffee filter, and that took care of it. So if you find you haven’t strained it thoroughly enough, the good news is: you can always fix that later.

pouringThen I poured one of the infusions into my strainer setup. I had to pour about a quarter of my infusion in, then wait for some of it to soak through, then pour another quarter in, until I was done. (If the strainer clogs with white gunk, use a spoon to scrape the white gunk out of the way.) In the end, you’ll have about 8 ounces of Skittle infused vodka. Then I dumped the funnel and coffee filters into one of the bowls I’d used earlier for counting out Skittles, to catch drips as I carried it over to the sink. I washed everything out for re-using (except the coffee filters, of course – those I just rinsed before disposing of, so the sugar wouldn’t attract ants).

intobottle Then I took the liquid from the measuring cup and poured it into a flask, via the now-clean funnel. You can see here that the green is a little thick, and it shouldn’t have been – that’s why I ended up having to re-filter it. Then I rinsed the funnel out again.

Repeat this process for each flavor.

Here you can see about how much gunk the filtration takes out:

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Now you’ve got 5 flasks or bottles of Skittles infused vodka:

Stick them in the freezer for several hours – overnight is fabulous…

…and they’re ready to serve:

chilled

Now, these are pretty strong on their own – nearly pure vodka. They are also very sweet. You can drink them straight, served up in a chilled martini glass, or you can use them in a cocktail:

  • Mix them with ginger ale, 7-up or Sprite to taste
  • Mix them with cola to taste (diet cola cuts the sweetness a little)
  • Serve them on the rocks to water it down a little
  • Some people mix them with fruit juice. I didn’t try this, because to me the Skittles were plenty of sweetness for my taste buds.
  • Everyone’s taste varies – there are so many directions you can take this drink in, you really should try anything that sounds good to you!

Cheers!

ETA: Everyone keeps asking where I got these flasks. Here’s the link.

    K, those flasks came from The Container Store. The 8.5 ounce size. The seals are very good, and one quick washing got the Skittles flavor completely out.

    The lemon lime skittle drink already exists and tastes exact..It’s Cryptonic Lemon- Lime Liqueur with Red bull or any energy drink. You can also do a skittle bomb by dropping a shot of Cryptonic in the energy drink..It’s amazing!! Alot easier than going through this process and it’s 70 proof!! Try it and taste the rainbow!!

  50. Akira said:

    I’m trying this right now..and even with only two coffee filters it doesn’t seem to really be straining? How long should it take on average to strain? It’s been at least 4 hours and I’ve only got about 50ml strained -_-;;

  51. Akira said:

    I found out the problem -_-;;….the filters pretty much got “clogged” with all the white gunk and so nothing else could get through. The best way I found to get around this is to shake the bottles before pouring into the strainer (equally distributes the white gunk amongst all the liquid), and replace the filter after each section (in your case, 1/4) is done straining.

  52. Jen said:

    Akira, you know what? I accidentally left out my fix for that problem in Step 6 (I’ve just edited the article to correct that). I scraped the white gunk out of the way with a spoon, and that enabled the liquid to keep seeping through. Sounds like you found a method of your own, too!

    have you thought about putting the skittles into the vodka wrapped up in cheese cloth? that might save you all the filtering later on since all the solids in the skittles will already be in the cloth.

  74. Jen said:

    @Krisi, vodka works nicely with a LOT of things for infusions, so there’s a very good chance your jelly beans would work. I’d suggest trying a small batch at first, so you don’t waste too much of either product to find out. If you do try this, I’d love to hear how it turns out!

    @Hern, that’s a very interesting idea that never occurred to me!

    @Peter Schultz, in theory it should keep for quite some time (it’s just vodka and sugar, mostly), especially if you refrigerate it. I only kept mine around for a few days, though, so I can’t say for sure. But I would think it should last at least a couple of weeks…?

    @Garp, that sounds delicious!

    @Zain, see here:
    http://mixthatdrink.com/skittles-vodka-tutorial/#comment-58

    @Alice, I’m not crazy about straight vodka either. I could still taste the burning alcohol taste in this drink, but the Skittles flavor overwhelms it to some extent. But if you find the vodka fumes are still bothering you, you can always mix this with something – even serving on the rocks tames the alcohol taste down.

  75. Rachel said:

    My friends and I tried this and had such a horrible time trying to strain all the flavors that we finally gave up. It would NOT go through a coffee filter and the paper towels just soaked it up. In the end we just decided we would live with the medicine-y texture. The flavors are fantastic, texture, terrible.

    @Rachel, I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder if brands make a difference with coffee filters/paper towels? I DID have to scrape the gunk off to keep it filtering through (see Step 6), but it did ultimately work for me.

    @Angel, I would think so. Both Everclear and shochu/soju are popular in infusion recipes for the same reasons vodka is. If you try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out!

    Wow! Great recipe, I will have to try it.

    One suggestion to make the infusion work a little faster. Put the flask/bottle in a pan with water and then heat them up (the water will make sure it doesn’t get too hot and break your bottle).

    This tip was gleaned from the way the Finns make their Salmiakkikossu. It is essentially Salmiakki candy in Koskenkorva (their brand of vodka).

    @ Jen- I have no idea. we initially strained them to get the big pieces out with a kitchen sieve. No problems there, tiny holes plus big skittles chunks= peachy keen. When we put the filters in the sieve and tried to restrain, the vodka just sat there. After a half hour we barely had any filtered back in the bottle. When we gave up and poured it back in, there was an obvious film on the filter. We tried again and put the filter in a funnel, and that did a tiny bit better, but it was still very slow drips.

    I will add though, that we used extremely cheap vodka (McCormicks, if you are familiar) and ran it through a brita filter multiple times with *excellent* results. It went from such a strong rubbing alcohol taste/smell that you couldn’t even hold your face over the pitcher to being very drinkable. There was a visiable sludge in the filter by the time we were through. If you are on a budget and have a filter, I highly recommend trying this!

  93. Jen said:

    @Deano, great idea! Thanks!

    @Rachel, huh. I wish I knew what the cause of your filtration problems was. Hmm. Nice tip on the Brita filtering!

    It has been 17 hours since we started out batch. All the vodka mixtures are pretty much dissolved. Only a few reminices of skittles on the bottom.
    The batch containing Everclear (and green skittles only) has only turned slightly green and all the skittles are still whole and very colored. I do not think there is enough water in the everclear (5% water) to dissolve the skittles. May either need to be watered down.

    I tried the recipe this weekend. DAMN it was amazing! I used the cheapest vodka ever (Majorska) and it still worked great. I only made the red skittles, and the vodka smelled SOOOO good when it was done. I only had problems when it came to filtering, so at step 6, I decided to grab 2 fresh coffee filters and re-filter all the liquid that wasnt going through the 4 filters, and that worked fine.

    This is the BEST rescipe ever. Thanks Jen! You’re the best!

    Got my batch going last night, here in Toronto.
    Bought 5 375ml Absolute. I know it’s somewhat cheaper to buy in larger quantities but then I also have a nice bottle for each color.

    Removed 2 shots from each bottle.
    Added ~60 skittles to each, seperated by color. A 320g bag had almost exactly 60 of each.
    Shaking them every so often since last night.

    Not sure if I want to put them in the dishwasher for speedy solution or just continue the manual way. Glass bottles, filled, explode if put in washer? everyone seems to make them in plastic bottles for mixing. Thoughts anyone?

  133. waywardmedic said:

    I tried this recipe this weekend, I wanted to thank you for it. It was pretty easy to do except the filtering was labour intensive plus my place smelled like a brewery LOL. I blogged about the whole process here. Do you know how long the infusions last though?

  134. Mitch said:

    I don’t get how no one has commented on this because the math just isn’t working for me. I have a 1.75L bottle being split 5 ways. That goes 350ml per infusion (and actually I got about 400ml, but no matter). 350ml is about 12oz, and after having filtered my first flavor I still have 350ml. It won’t fit into even my 9.5oz bottles I’d been collecting. Have people been using 1/5s (750ml) or am I somehow not losing alcohol everyone else is?

  135. Jen said:

    Waywardmedic, I’m not sure how long they last – vodka and sugar (basically what this is) SHOULD in theory last a very long time, but I don’t think anyone so far has left them around for long enough to see. ;) I’d guess at the very least a couple of weeks?

    Mitch, I didn’t use the entire 1.75L bottle. I had a lot left over from it after I was done. I just poured the six ounces of vodka into the water bottles along with the skittles, as I described, and ended up with about an 8 ounce yield of the actual infusion. Hope that helps!

  136. Willy's Wonka said:

    Okay, I chill some Vodka overnight. Then I fill a tumbler with it, and stuff my pockets full of Skittles. (If I haven’t been lucky enough to have some lovely lady do it for me already, Rowr!)

    Then I swig the vodka while jamming handfuls of the candy into my mouth and chewing the whole mess until it becomes a nightmarish paste of rave dreams and willy wonka dispair – then I swallow the whole gooey mass, rinse, lather, repeat.

    Your process is much too time consuming for my desired end result – to wake up with the taste of oompah-loompah hoonanny and carnival snacks marinated in my tonsils.

    Mmmm, sir – I simply say mmmm.

    I know this sounds a bit obvious, but you can do the same thing with unsweetened kool-aid mix. You can avoid the sugary goop by using xylitol or sorbitol, or even stevia (not sure how well stevia would work with vodka). Or if you like fake sweeteners you can use liquid equal to taste.

    (You can do this with everclear too.)

    Alternately, melt the skittles with some water on the stove into a syrup, then add in the vodka. should take care of the white stuff, which is probably gum arabic.

  154. Tyler Hills said:

    I finished making my first batch a few days ago, and it was truly a hassle for me to strain them using coffee filters. I was frequently replacing filters and lost significant ounces due to soaking into the filters. Maybe it was just that they were cheap Big Lots filters, who knows. When it was all done I had some 7 up waiting an was wondering how they would taste… Amazing!! Well worth the trouble. I did 1 shot of skittle vodka to about 3/4 can of 7up plus ice. They are really sweet, like drinking skittles, so good. To make them a bit stronger (Since you can’t even taste the vodka) I might add a bit of plain vodka to the mix, I like my drinks a bit on the stronger side though.

    Next time I’m planning on getting some cheese cloth, never heard of it before, but sister said it’d probably work better. Also, I’m going to try Starbursts next time, does anyone know if there would be anything to filter there??? My sister is going to try jolly ranchers due to taste preference and to avoid filtration. After the starburst experiment I’m going to do tropical skittles with the cheese cloth, and maybe even sour skittles. Can’t wait.

There are studies about plastic leeching chemicals into water if it’s left in the car to heat up, so I would guess if you keep it refrigerated, it’s probably okay to use plastic.

    i also find that if you use a FRENCH COFFEE PRESS, and let the skittles mix just soak in the jug over night, WITHOUT PRESSING IT YET…. wait overnight, press it slow and firmly in the morning and you just pour out the good stuff on top into your flasks…SAVED ME ALOT OF TIME!
    It also depends on what the thickness of your mesh is. For example, with my press it worked fine… but at my gf’s we had to use a coffee filter after still, since there was a fine layer of floatin gunk lol you just gotta see what works with what you have, but i would deff. reccommend the coffee press, if your lazy like me & can’t be f***ed to go thru all that filtering effort.

I have also been making jello-shots in oral syringes (the kind you give medicine to children in). Its awesome because you just suck the un-set jello into the syring and then chill. You just “shoot” the shot into your mouth…no scraping it out of a cup.

    It should work with rum, Ali. If you try it, let us know how it turned out!

    Stephen, it’s hard to say – you don’t have to use exactly the proportions I used. I would suggest that if, in the morning, it looks transparent, you might want to add more Skittles and let it go another night. But if it looks opaque (like in my pics) it’ll be fine.

    We boiled our skittles with enough liquid to cover them half way. (we used powerade that corresponded with each skittle flavor so we didn’t have any watering down) and then mixed it with the vodka. Tastes like skittles with a kick. We did have some of the waxy white stuff floating around, but it stuck to the sides of the bottle, so we didn’t care. That, and we’re college kids, so who cares if there’s stuff floating in our alcohol.
