Starburst Infused Vodka

Starburst Infused Vodka is a homemade, flavored alcoholic beverage created by steeping Starburst candies in plain vodka until they dissolve, infusing the spirit with fruity sweetness and vibrant color. It typically uses original fruit-flavored Starbursts (cherry, strawberry, orange, lemon) and a neutral vodka base. This DIY infusion is a popular party trick or novelty cocktail ingredient, especially in North American home bars.
