Chindie Posted March 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2012 One thing to bear in mind with skittle vodka is to remove that left over bits of skittle before you serve it. You get left with a little... pellet really, that is absolutely tooth breakingly hard. A friend of mine made Maltesers vodka. Foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Skittle vodka is very tasty (I think you remove the green ones first or you end up with a browny colour). Alternatively (and even better), there is Fisherman's Friend vodka. One and a half packs of the original flavour dumped into a 750ml bottle of Smirnoff red label (with a little vodka removed to make room) and once they're dissolved, voila, you have a mint drink that you can genuinely drink straight. The sweets take that nasty edge off it. It's quite dangerous actually, because it's so bloody tasty.But Fisherman's Friends don't taste of mint, they taste of... dunno. Iodine? I was going to say dog shit! Ive never tried dog shit, but i have tried Fisherman's Friends, and i would imagine the 2 taste very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate at uni spent some time in Svalbard in our finla year and brought some of that stuff back with him. I hate mint so to me it tasted like the devils boiled piss, but everyone else liked it.

mjmooney Posted March 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2012 Some of the Islay malts (Laphroaig, Lagavulin, etc.) have a hint of iodine/Fisherman's Friend about them. Then again, I'm talking about proper booze, not these strange sweetie-based things you lot are concocting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2012 Many's an idle mind created some of the best cocktails Mr. Mooney Oh, fair enough. It's just that my idea of a cocktail is booze + booze + booze + some token mixer - not rubbing alcohol and a packet of Jelly Tots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 6, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2012 Wow now hold on eine minuten. We're only talking about the mixing of silly stuff. If we're talking proper drink that's worth drinking neat then you'll get no argument here. A proper whiskey for example, would never be soiled by anything, not even an ice cube.
