Skittle Vodka or How To Make Pretty Colored Alcohol

A few years ago, I came across a post on how to make Skittle-flavored vodka. I have wanted to do this for a while but never actually got around to it. I finally did it because I have a friend's birthday coming up and thought this would be a fun gift. This is fairly easy to do, and I encourage you all to give it a try.

Supplies you will need:

• A large bag of Skittles
• Five 20 oz. plastic bottles (Water bottles work well and are readily available.)
• Five glass bottles (This can be anywhere from 10-20 oz. It comes down to personal preference; I went with 16 oz.)
• Five plastic bags or bowls (To house the different colored candies.)
• A plastic funnel
• Coffee filters (I recommend the smaller ones for 4 cup machines, they are just the right size.)
• A lot of Vodka (This is going to depend on the size of your glass bottles. You will probably have to convert oz. to mL, this can be done through any number of websites including Google.)

Ok, now that you have all of your supplies, your first job is to separate the Skittles into their different colors.
