Filter out the remaining Skittle bits. With single servings like this, you can decide which flavor s you like best and proceed to making bottles, if you desire. Method 2. Separate the Skittles by color. If you want two flavors mixed together, separate them together.
Let the mixture sit for a day or two. Shake occasionally so the flavour mixes well. Strain out the Skittles using a filter, such as a paper coffee filter or a clean T-shirt. Method 3. Place the bottles in your dishwasher and put on an intensive cycle. One third of the way through the cycle, shake all bottles vigorously. Two thirds of the way through the cycle, shake all bottles vigorously.
Once the cycle has finished, shake all bottles vigorously again. Then place in the freezer for 2 hours. Once the vodka is cold, it should be syrupy. Take a sieve, line it with a piece of cheesecloth muslin or a coffee filter, place above a large jug and pour the vodka through slowly.
Once the first bottle has been filtered, wash out the bottle and pour the Skittles vodka back in. Repeat the above two steps for all bottles, ensuring that everything is cleaned between uses to prevent color contamination. Place all of the bottles in the freezer until you are ready to drink. Don't worry, the vodka won't freeze. Yes, you should always include a filtering step. As the candy dissolves, there is a waxy residue left behind that you don't want in your drink.

Preferable yes, as it tastes better that way. Skittles are quite sweet and the chilling reduces that. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 9. No, children can't drink alcohol, except for maybe a small sip if an adult allows it. But you're free to substitute the vodka in the recipe with any other drink and make something you can have! Not Helpful 21 Helpful You will get a better result if you use high quality vodka, but any vodka brand will do just fine.
Not Helpful 1 Helpful 2. Yes, but remember that this will reduce the ratio of Skittles to liquid, making it taste less like Skittles. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 1. Any "flavorless" vodka will work well. I personally like to use Absolut vodka. And whatever bottle you use is going to get a lot of sticky gunk in the bottom that will need to be cleaned. When this is done, all five bottles will have a pile of Skittles soaking in the vodka.
Now your infusion bottles all have Skittles in the bottom. Give each bottle a good shake — the more, the better. The candy coating will start to rub off and color 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. These Skittles all dissolved overnight, but some people have had it take longer, so be sure to do this a full day in advance of when you want to serve them. See the white stuff at the bottom? Feeling like this is too much work? You could always make Vodka Gummy Bears instead.
Skittles Vodka makes a great gift! First, put the funnel inside the measuring cup. Next put the coffee filter inside the funnel, and then the two layers of cheesecloth inside the coffee filters.
Then pour one of the infusions into your strainer setup. If after a while you find the cheesecloth and coffee filter keep sinking down into the filter, you can use clothespins or sturdy plastic clamp clips to hold it all in place.
Looks kind of bizarre, but it works. If the strainer clogs with white gunk, you can use a spoon to scrape the gunk out of the way. The coffee filters and cheesecloth will be soaking wet, so you may want to dump them into a bowl to carry over to the sink.
