We used 50 skittles for 6.25 oz vodka (1/4 of 750ml bottle). We separated the skittles into their colors. We bought at 14 oz bag of skittles, and had plenty left over for all the colors...except for green, which only had 45 skittles for some reason. Poor green. :( We'll shake these up multiple times in the next day and then filter, as we want to have them ready for our vodka tasting party - Philly edition which takes place tomorrow night.
08.28.09 Filtering & Tasting
We filtered this using the mesh coffee filter and it was a pain! The skittles, when fully "dissolved," leave a gross white greasy residue (think crisco) in the filter. These each had to be filtered at least 3 times to get out the gunk. Even then, not all of it is able to be filtered and it eventually settles into a layer.
These are very pretty little infusions. They definitely taste like skittles and the individual flavors can be told apart. They're pretty good.
12.31.09 Skittle color decay
Somewhere along the way, L noticed that there were 4 red skittle vodkas in the liquor cabinet at E's house, when we had only made 2. Strange. Upon closer inspection, we found that the purple skittle vodka had decayed into red. Now the only way to tell red and purple apart is to taste test.
