Mixed Drinks with Skittle Vodka

So now that you have made your Skittle Vodka I am sure you are wondering what the heck to do with it, right??  That is a very easy answer – anything you want!  

Here are a few mixed drink recipe ideas – a few pretty basic ones and then a couple fancier ones. 

How to Make a Deliciously Easy Ice Cream Pie

My friend's birthday few days ago and I wanted to  make something really extraordinary to celebrate.  It was a little tricky because she is particular (aka picky) - she doesn't like cake, she doesn't like things that are too sweet, and she claims she doesn't like chocolate...but I am slowly converting her.  

I decided to recreate an old family favorite - the original Robin Mile High Mud Pie.  When I was a kid my mom used to take us there for our birthdays and we would all share this treat that was taller than our heads!  It had layers of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, cookie crumbles, whipped cream, and lots of hot fudge - delicious!  Some where between when I was a kid and now they have changed the recipe and its just not the same.  So I took matters into my own hands and made my own pie with layers all of my favorite treats to create one delicious concoction! 

How to Make Skittle Vodka

 

The other day some friends gave me a jar of their homemade Skittle-infused vodka and after trying it I immediately added it to my list of things to make!  While cruising the candy aisle at the store partner-in-crime and I were rattling off other candy that might make tasty vodka and being two of the most indecisive people you will ever meet we decided to experiment with 3 different candies - regular Skittles, Sour Skittles, and Swedish Fish.
