PARTY!!PARTY!!PARTY!!

Quote of the Day "I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends."  ~Nancie J. Carmody

HI!! 
So this week is all for the preparation for TWO parties!! which normally for me would make me run for the hills as I am not really a social person.. but I can't since we are the ones hosting both gatherings, we just don't have enough room to have 40 people sit in our living room...
So now it is time to make the goodies for the gathering. the First being

bottle came from flavored olive oil

Skittles Vodka
I found this while surfing around on DeivantArt, Saw this really cool picture  and decided to make it and it was worth it, 

What you need
Vodka,  
Skittles
enough bottles for each flavor
something to filter with, I use coffee filters. because we have alot


Step 1
separate the rainbow, I let my wife and daughter to do this.. it makes them happy to organize.. 

Broken Rainbow

After Vodka

Step 2. once it is all separated, add the vodka. I worked it out to 1/4 cup of skittles per 6 ounces of vodka to get the right flavor... so you do the math.

Step 3. once you got your vodka and skittles together. shake it.. and shake it some more

Step 4. Let it sit.. takes about 1 to 2 days for the vodka to dissolve the Skittles.. to speed it up shake the bottles vigorously and often.

after a while the Skittles will dissolve and they leave a white residue. which leads you to

Step 5. the Filtering.. I usually set a coffee filter in a strainer and pour the vodka in slowly, about a quarter of the batch at a time because the white gunk will eventually clog your filter.. but you want as much of it out as possible.. you will want to take the filter and squeeze it out not to hard or the white gunk will rip the filter and you really don't want that on your hands... or back in your filtered vodka.

Step 6. once you have it all filtered. I found that if you freeze it.. not that it actually freezes, and filter it one more time you will have gotten all the gunk out..


Step 7. Drink it up.. you can drink it straight and it is drinking candy. Warning thou if your diabetic watch your sugars, after about 4 of these your sugar will skyrocket 
you can mix it with sprite,ginger ale, or mountain dew.

Well there is more to make and I will share more of my recipes I am making later on...
Cheers!!
