Vodka, distilled liquor, clear and colourless and without definite aroma or taste but making a colorful alcoholic drink is a great way to add fun and flavor to an otherwise basic drink. It’s really easy to make. Just buy some Skittles candy and dump it in a bottle. Give it a few hours to mix and you can have a great colorful infusion. These bright cocktails are a great addition in any house party. It gives a whole new meaning to tasting the rainbow.

One pro-tip we can give is that you leave out the green (lime flavor) or purple (grape flavor) candies because they create a strange taste combination that many do not find appealing. If you want to mix the flavors, go ahead and skip the separation step.
Add six Skittles for every 25 mL of vodka.

Mix the vodka and candies until the Skittles dissolve almost completely. This ratio of six candies per 25 mL of vodka can be adjusted to your liking.
