SKITTLE SHOTS

(ADULT ONLY Alcohol Beverage)

Ingredients

• 6 Mason Jars
• 3 Large bags of Skittles
• 1 Large bottle of Vodka (any brand)
• Coffee filters

Instructions

1. Separate Skittles by color
2. Fill each mason jar half to three quarters full with each flavor (or combination if you choose) of Skittle.
   
3. Fill jar with vodka of your choice
   
4. Cover and shake gently.
5. Let jars sit 12-24 hours until Skittles are dissolved.  (shaking every few hours will speed up this process.)
   
6. After skittles are dissolved, strain your vodka slowly through a coffee filter to remove sugary residue.  (You may need to rinse your coffee filter a few times during this process so it does not clog)
7.  Chill and enjoy!

These make fabulous, inexpensive holiday gifts!

Another variation I have tried is using peppermint candy canes instead of the skittles.  You will not need to strain the vodka if you use candy canes.  Hang a candy cane from the bottle and it is set to give as a gift.  It tastes GREAT mixed with hot chocolate!
