Don't worry, the vodka won't freeze. Yes, you should always include a filtering step. As the candy dissolves, there is a waxy residue left behind that you don't want in your drink. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 6. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 4. It's lovely as a long drink with ice and tonic. It is good with fruit vodkas as well. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 3. Preferable yes, as it tastes better that way. Skittles are quite sweet and the chilling reduces that.
Not Helpful 3 Helpful 9. No, children can't drink alcohol, except for maybe a small sip if an adult allows it. But you're free to substitute the vodka in the recipe with any other drink and make something you can have!
Not Helpful 21 Helpful You will get a better result if you use high quality vodka, but any vodka brand will do just fine.
Not Helpful 1 Helpful 2. Yes, but remember that this will reduce the ratio of Skittles to liquid, making it taste less like Skittles. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 1. Any "flavorless" vodka will work well.

Start with small amount of vodka and Skittles at first to experiment which combination of taste suits you best. You can carry this out with larger amount of vodka and Skittles once you have decided that you enjoy the taste. Helpful 28 Not Helpful 8. The lime green Skittles add a sourness to the drink, so if you want one that's sweet, leave the green ones out and add them to their own bottle for a sour lime vodka. Helpful 30 Not Helpful Another approach is to buy five bottles of vodka and five bags of Skittles.
Then separate the candy and use one flavor for each bottle. Nutritional information is always approximate and will depend on the quality of ingredients used and serving sizes. If you need exact calories and macros, please do your own calculations.

Now your infusion bottles all have Skittles in the bottom. Give each bottle a good shake — the more, the better. The candy coating will start to rub off and color the vodka, but the white insides of the Skittles still have a lot of dissolving to do. After shaking them, set them aside for a few hours. These Skittles all dissolved overnight, but some people have had it take longer, so be sure to do this a full day in advance of when you want to serve them.
See the white stuff at the bottom? Feeling like this is too much work? You could always make Vodka Gummy Bears instead. Skittles Vodka makes a great gift! First, put the funnel inside the measuring cup. Next put the coffee filter inside the funnel, and then the two layers of cheesecloth inside the coffee filters. Then pour one of the infusions into your strainer setup. Vodka The vodka quality is actually pretty important.
We found that using middle-quality vodka created an end-result that tasted a lot like medicine particularly the cherry flavor. I would suggest trying a better-or-best-quality vodka instead. Several commenters have pointed out that you can try running middle-quality-vodka through a water filter pitcher such as a Brita to clean up the flavor a bit -- we haven't tested this but it's worth a try.
We used one mL bottle for each flavor of skittle -- five in all. Larger or smaller bottles will result in more or less flavorful vodka for the amount of Skittles given above. Remove the labels from each bottle by soaking them in warm water.
This makes it easier to see the dissolving process. Sort the skittles into different bowls based on color. We weighed ours with a scale to make sure we had approximately the same amount for each bottle grams. Drop the skittles by color into each bottle. Top off the bottles with the reserved vodka. Enjoy whatever won't fit back in at your leisure.
Give each bottle a good shake to get the dissolving process started. You should see the liquid begin to color relatively quickly. It may take several days for the Skittles to fully dissolve in your vodka. Ours dissolved within one hour period, but your results may vary from that. Every now and then throughout the dissolving period, give the bottles a shake to move things around.
Over time the vodka will begin to take on the color of the Skittles, while the Skittle bodies will turn white and start to break apart. If you look at a package of Skittles, you'll notice that besides sugar and flavoring there's also a number of ingredients that give the candy its texture and chewiness.
As your Skittles dissolve more and more, you'll get a thicker and thicker layer of white "scum" on the top of the liquid. This scum layer is pretty horrible and generally not tasty, so it needs to be filtered out before the drinking can commence.
Once all the skittles have mostly dissolved in each bottle, it's time to filter out all the extra leftover ingredients that we don't want in our finished product. The original method that we used for this was to run the liquid through a filter made of several layers of paper towels pushed down into a strainer. As several commenters pointed out, it is likely that coffee filter might be a better solution than the paper towels.
We haven't tried this ourselves, but it sounds quite reasonable and we see no reason why you shouldn't try it. It will take some time to get all the liquid through the filter -- be patient.
