the division of joy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Idiots Guide (Werther's Vodka) You will need. 70cl bottle of vodka 26-30 Werther's Originals (that's 2/3 a bag or a couple of tubes) An empty wide mouth 1lt bottle (like a 2 pint milk plastic bottle) Pour a third of the vodka into a jug. Either crush the Werther's and put them in the vodka bottle or put them into the wide mouth bottle and then add the vodka. If putting sweets into the vodka bottle top up with vodka from the jug after adding the required amount. Put the bottle of mix into a sink of hand hot water. Shake bottle and warm up water every 30 mins or so. When the sweets have dissolved, store somewhere cold until chilled. Serve in shots or over ice. FAQ Q. What is the scum that appears when making the skittle vodka? A. I've been told this is hydrogenated fat. Strain and throw it away when the sweets have dissolved. Q. Why do you take some of the vodka out before putting the sweets in? A. Simple displacement. Q. Why do you put the mixture in a sink full of hot water? A. The water warms the vodka making the sweets dissolve faster. If you can't use the sink option you can put it in a dishwasher or leave it overnight. Or but the bottle in a saucepan of hot water with the lid loose. WARNING this can be lead to explosion and fire! Q. How do you mix the chocolate based sweets? A. Gently melt the chocolates in a bowl over hot water then gradually add vodka. When it's easily pourable pour it all back into the vodka bottle. Q. I want to make some but I don't know what to try first. A. If you don't want to try anything risky give the Werthers or Foxes Glaciers a try.

Reverend Jax Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 This sounds pretty good, but they sell vodka in all kinds of funny flavors nowadays, I wonder if the effort yield something better than store-bought caramel vodka. You will need.70cl bottle of vodka Man, you're asking alot of us Amurikuns to know what a cl is. We've only been using milliliters and liters for about 30 years, and now you throw this centiliter stuff at us? Slow down! That would be 700ml, to the forward thinking Amurikuns, and to people who prefer red blooded Amurikun fluid ounces, it's about 24 fl oz.

the division of joy Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Heh apologies, i'm used to ml and cl, I forget sometimes ye're in the dark ages. As for the effort thing, its worth it over here when there isn't that much choice as regards vodka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterpillarScheme Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I did this with gummy bears the other day. They don't dissolve or anything, so you end up with bear flavored vodka plus delicious vodka soaked bears that are similar to little jello shots. You just soak the bears for longer, and then put some fruit concentrate on them after you take them out of the vodka. It was pretty delicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonfire Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 When I was back in the Motherland in February Ross made me some of his Glacier Mint vodka. I swear I could drink that shit all night....straight. If you held it up to the light you could actually see the dissolved sweetie goodness flowing in the vodka. It looked a lot more awesome than it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaterpillarScheme Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Did you heat up th vodka? If not, how long did you soak them for? No, if you heat it up the bears dissolve and you end up with sort of a lumpy syrup (we found that out by taking one of our jars out of the refrigerator to go to a cookout and left them sitting in the Texas heat for a few hours). We soaked ours for four days, the recipe said you could do a week but we didn't want to wait that long. Actually, it said to soak the bears in just the vodka for five days and then add the fruit concentrate for five days and then separate the bears out. The bears get huge with all the vodka in them, it's pretty cool. I had found that gummy bear recipe online not too long ago... I'll have to find it again and compare with you, Amandapillar. PS I hadn't tried it yet... I really want to, though! I think we got ours off Instructables. We should totally compare recipes and then HOST A DFW MEETUP :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaterpillarScheme Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Me too! I always have a million of them I want to do, and they always get put off to do things like play tetris, or just lie around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Tetris is also wonderful ( miss having it on my phone). I have a book that Instructables put out that has plans for putting an emulator inside an old NES case. One day I want to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Star Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Have done this in the summer time for parties, turns out great, we would store it in a cooler full of ice. Easy to transport that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amynicole Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Whoops. I can't read. Anyhow, watermelon vodka makes an awesome martini, mixed with just a little bit of watermelon pucker. Id be interested in blending a little of this watermelon up and shaking it in too and see how that turns out.

amynicole Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Oh and if you can get one with the part of the vine still on all you have to do is stick the vine down in the bottle instead of cutting and pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
