re: Infusing Liquors

I'll go ahead and temporary ban myself for posting this on the F&D Board, but we have made the Skittles Vodka before. It was pretty easy. I used some mason jars. I separated the colors and made some of each. You just put them in a jar with vodka, shake it pretty good, and then just soak them in the vodka for a while, then strain it so the white gooey centers are removed, then put it in the freezer. I'm not 100% certain that was all that was involved, but a quick Google search will give you the recipe. The red was really good, the purple was alright, the orange and yellow wasn't worth it, and the green I remember being a little tart at first, but if you're using it as a mixer and not doing shots, then it is okay with a splash of sprite over rocks. I'm not sure why we tried this, but I remember doing it for the Bama/LSU BCS game and we all did shots with it. I used some 100 Proof vodka. Probably Smirnoff. I didn't want to waste something expensive on it.
