Didn’t use all the Skittles?

With the 4th of July around the corner, I was determined to create a cocktail. This Skittles USA cocktail is a winner to keep you sane with your littles.

Do I separate out all the Skittles into individual jars?

This is entirely up to you. I did not.

However, it looks lovely when you separate out the Skittles into their own individual mason jars of vodka before you do the infusion, the result is a vivid color of vodka. The Skittles taste, either Grape, Strawberry, Lime, Lemon, or Orange, is quite strong. It’s also quite sweet so I do not recommend drinking before mixing.

There is a problem. It’s not as easy as just dropping in the Skittles into vodka and taking a sip. The Skittles must dissolve and that takes a little time. About a day, in fact.

What is the Ratio of Skittles to Vodka?

I did 70 skittles to 7oz of Vodka

Don’t have 24 hours to wait? Here is a quick way to make Skittles Vodka.

If you want to make it more quickly, cut the skittles in half before putting them into vodka. Shake every 15 minutes. They’ll dissolve in an hour instead of a day.

What are other mixes I can use for Skittles Vodka?

Mix it with ginger ale, 7-up, or Sprite to taste
Mix it with a diet coke to taste (diet coke cuts the sweetness a little)
Serve it on the rocks to water it down a little
Mix it with fruit juice.
Spike beer with it. An excellent pale ale will taste great with most Skittles flavors.
Everyone’s taste varies – there are so many directions you can take this drink in; you should try anything that sounds good to you!

Remember always to drink responsibly!
