And you thought Skittles were just for eating. Turns out the candies are perfect for coloring/flavoring vodka.
According to EnglishRussia.com this is a fun new tend. Just separate the skittles by color, add to vodka, let the alcohol absorb the color, and drain. Voilá, rainbow colored vodka! Enjoy in moderation and only if you're at the legal drinking age.
This trend seems like it would lend itself well to summer cocktails. What do you think?

The Vodka is already amazingly smooth with a touch of sweetness but now you have a cool color. It's great for parties!!! I miss those days. Now it's still 1.0.1 Vodka but in martini form. Oh well.

I didn't see a link to your instructable.
I'd be happy to add your information in the photo credit if I knew to whom credit went.
