Anyone tried Skittle Vodka?

Skittle Vodka has to be one of my favorite things of all time.  What you do, is you take a bag of skittles and separate it into colors.  You put the skittles in the bottom of mason jars and fill it with straight vodka.  Then you keep it in the fridge for a week.  Each day you have to shake the jars.  

 
After a week you have to strain out the skittle parts.  We used a very fine strainer, but a coffee filter works too.  When they are strained you are ready to serve!  Its fantastic if you mix it with Sprite or 7-Up.  I wouldn't recommend drinking it straight (although I suppose a shot would be OK) because it is PURE vodka.  

The picture above is the finished product.  When we made this we had a little mis-hap with an ice machine and the orange skittle jar.  We placed the skittle vodka in the freezer instead of the fridge.  Lets just say we had orange skittle vodka ALL over our freezer.  The vodka didn't explode, its more like the ice machine ate the jar.... long story.  

Anyway, highly suggest this as an adult beverage to serve for summer parties. :)
