Summer drink for the weekend

[James]

If anyone wants to try this over the weekend, I'd be very interested in the results.


Hmmmmm...

1 bottle vodka
6 packets of skittles.

1. Open the bottle of vodka
2. Empty out about 3-4 shots of the vodka into a smaller empty
bottle.
3. Open the first packet of skittles
4. Remove Green Skittles
5. Add all other skittles to the vodka bottle.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for other 5 packets of skittles.
7. Add all the green skittles to the vodka which was initially
removed.
8. Leave over night (not in fridge).
9. Wake up early and put bottles in fridge.
10. Remove bottles from fridge that night - note skittles have
completely dissolved.

Result : One bottle of sweet sweet red vodka, which goes down smooth as summer fruit kia ora (which is what it has been compared to) but is as lethal as they come (because to all intensive purposes it is straight vodka and also because its full of sugar).

Also one bottle of green, which tastes quite Lime-y.

Obvious question : why remove the greens? - If you don't you end up with a brown drink which looks mingin' and no-one will drink it.

Update on the Stuie Byrne Specials (double vodka, a smirnoff ice and red bull). Apparently there is a Stuie Bryne Extra Special, with a Tequila Shot added to the above.

(Don't read if its the morning after or eating now)

There was once this guy who liked to travel from pub to pub across the
countryside. One day, he came up to a pub he had never heard of. He went
inside and sat at the bar. "What'll it be?" asked the bartender. "A beer
thanks, but what's that jar?" he said pointing up to a jar on the top
shelve. "Well, anyone who can drink it wins the collected prize money, which
stands at around $80 right now." said the bartender. "What's in it?" the man
asked. "Used to be a spittoon, everyone spat in the thing as a joke and now
were looking for a brave man." The man looked around at all the people
watching attentively, "No that's a bit much for me I think." Then suddenly
people from in the pub started betting money on it. "Come on! Give it a go!"
said people from the bar. Before the man knew it the bet had gone up to
$500! The bartender brought the jar down from its shelve. People by then
were yelling and chanting for the guy to do it.

Then with consideration, "I'll drink it!" said the man. Screams of
encouragement came from all around. He unscrewed the top of the jar and
picked it up off the bar. Everyone in the pub fell silent. The man lifted it
to his mouth and started drinking it. The sight was horrible! People
everywhere were looking at him drinking all the flem and couldn't believe
it. "Stop, its making me feel ill!" said one of the people in the bar. Then
other people started yelling out, begging the man to stop, but he didn't!
"Don't worry about the money, we'll give it all to you, just stop drinking
it!!!" came from the audience of patrons. But he didn't stop!

Finally, he had finished it, and dropped the jar onto the floor. People in
the pub were vomiting and dizzy. One then came up to the man, "Why didn't
you stop, I said we would give you the money!" The man, green in the face
looked up and said, "I couldn't - it was all one piece!"

why don't you just separate all the skittles and get 6/7 bottles of vodka and make up each one as their own flavour - lime, lemon, orange, etc.
