Being of inquisitive mind, and remembering something similar my housemate did at university where he left the skittles in the vodka for 3 months and ended up with something 60% proof, I decided to give it a go. Me being me though, the recipe changed slightly -- in this case it consisted of:
1 70cl bottle of vodka
1 large packet of "sour" skittles (green bag)
1 fridge.
1. Remove 3-4 shots of vodka and create Russian coffees. This will prepare you for the tedium of....
2. ...removing all green skittles and eating them.
3. Place remaining skittles in vodka.
4. Leave overnight (NOT IN FRIDGE)
5. The following morning, place in fridge. Please note that even though you removed all the green skittles to make the drink not turn up brown, it has still turned into an odd shade of brown that you would normally associate with polluted well water from a third world country.
6. Return home from work, examine fridge and discover that half the skittles are stuck to the bottom of the bottle and look like baked beans. Decide to leave for another couple of hours, just in case.
7. Decide to try a shot when all the beer in the house has run out.
8. Try a second slip 5 minutes later when you have finally stopped coughing and spluttering.
9. Try a third shot the next night.
10. Ignoring the fact that the vodka is still brown, and half of the skittles still haven't melted, conceed that it is actually quite drinkable.
11. Wake up late next morning with half of the bottle gone, phone work up and tell them that you are stuck in traffic or at the doctors or something.
12. Leave the rest to see if it will really turn 60% proof when the sugar turns to alcohol.
