Equipment
- Medium bowl
- Fine-mesh sieve

Ingredients
For the Skittles Vodka Infusion
- 1 cup Skittles various colors, separated
- 1 cup vodka decent quality
For the Slushie
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups ice
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional
- whipped cream optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Separate Skittles by color. Place 1 cup of a single color Skittles into a medium bowl and pour in 1 cup vodka. Let sit for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally to dissolve the candy.
- Step 2: Strain the infused vodka through a fine mesh sieve to remove any leftover candy bits. Repeat if necessary for a smooth liquid.
- Step 3: In a blender, combine 1 cup Skittles-infused vodka, 1 cup water, and 2 cups ice. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Step 4: If desired, add 1 tablespoon sugar and blend again to sweeten.
- Step 5: Repeat blending with different colors of infused vodka and layer each color gently into your glass over the back of a spoon to create a rainbow effect.
- Step 6: Garnish with whipped cream and extra Skittles or rainbow sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Infuse vodka at least 24 hours ahead for best flavor. You can swap vodka for rum or tequila, or use sparkling water for fizz. Store infused vodka in the fridge up to 1 week. Freeze leftovers in an airtight container and blend before serving. Serve layered slushies immediately to keep distinct colors.
