Skittles Vodka

Skittles Vodka is a vibrant, flavored infused spirit created by steeping Skittles candy in vodka until the candy dissolves, imparting its color and fruity sweetness to the alcohol. The typical ingredients are simply a bag of Skittles and a bottle of neutral vodka, making it a popular DIY project for parties and social media. This colorful concoction is a modern, internet-fueled trend rather than a dish from a specific culinary tradition.
