🔪 How to Make Skittles Vodka
This recipe makes one jar of Skittles Vodka. Be sure to separate the Skittles by color—mixing them all together will create a muddy, unappetizing color. If you want a jar for each flavor, repeat the steps for each color.
Add one color of Skittles to a jar, then pour vodka over them.
Seal the jar tightly and place it in the fridge for about 5 days. Flip the jar upside down halfway through the infusing time, then return it upright the day before it’s done.
Once it’s ready, strain the vodka through cheesecloth (or a similar fine filter) to remove any leftover candy pieces.
Pour, chill, and enjoy!
How to Use Candy Vodka in Drinks
Skittles Vodka Drink Idea:
🍹 Skittles Vodka Lemonade
- 2 oz Skittles Vodka (any flavor)
- 4 oz lemonade
- Ice
- Garnish with a lemon slice and extra Skittles
Shake with ice and serve in a fun glass. Super refreshing and colorful!
⭐ Tips for the Best Candy Vodka ⭐
- Use clear containers so you can easily see which flavor is which.
- Label each bottle – the colors can look similar once mixed.
- Let it chill before drinking – it tastes better cold!
- Store it in the fridge – keep it in the sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. It won’t freeze, but leaving it out can mess with the flavor.
- Don’t mix colors – it might taste fine, but the color turns out muddy and not cute. Stick to one color per jar for the best look.
- Adjust Skittles to taste – add more or fewer Skittles depending on how strong you want the flavor.
- Choose your vodka wisely – cheap vodka gives you cheap-tasting results. A mid-range brand works best.
- Shake before serving – some color and sugar may settle, so give it a good shake first.

Ingredients
- 16 Ounces Vodka per jar
- ½ Cup Skittles per color, only one color per jar
Directions

- Place your skittles in the jar and pour the vodka over the top.
- Place the lid on top of the jar, firmly, and store inside the fridge for about 5 days, turning the jars upside down about halfway through, and turning them right side up the day before they’re finished.
- Once they’re ready, pour each jar through a cheesecloth or similar item, for straining, to remove any unwanted debris from the remaining Skittles pieces. Enjoy!
