So apparently it's becoming tradition that every christmas season I make flavoured vodka. This year, I decided I would actually turn it into Christmas gifts for folks, and because of this I stuck with a candy theme rather than my traditional wacky ones. So! Here's how it turned out!

The collection:








I was impressed with how well the colours came out. For those of you wondering here are the flavours:
Gay Bar - Strawberry Mike & Ikes
Health Potion - Cherry Air Heads
"Lemonaid" - Lemon Gummi Bears
Trogdor Blood - Watermelon Air Heads and Lime Mike & Ikes
Swedish Man Berries - Swedish Berries
Liberty Prime's Democracy Juice - Cherry Air heads in 1/3rd of a bottle vodka, the rest is a combo of sangria and cherry schnapps (my friend doesn't like vodka)
Crichton Translator Microbes - Peach Mike & Ikes and Orange Gummi Bears (friend is a huge farscape fan)
Pyro Punch - Cherry Air Heads, a bit of Cherry schnapps, and grenadine for colour (made this one for Sparq )
Mana Potion - Blue Raspberry Airheads

I used 350ml ice wine bottles that can be bought for about $1 a piece in any wine making store and the labels are made from just regular sticker printer paper that I printed at home with my inkjet printer.

Observations:
Well these take a much shorter time to infuse than my experiments with meat and dairy products last year. Overnight was enough for most of them, at most they would take 2 days. Filtration was a huge pain in the ass though. As you can see in a few of them there is still sediment in the bottom that I couldn't remove with a coffee filter so I'm looking for a way to improve that process. Need to work on that process. These were given out with "Shake before use" instructions.

As for the taste, had I sampled all of them, I'd be drunk, but from what I did taste they are very very sweet. The deeper the colour the less vodka you can taste but it should make these great for mixed drinks and vodka martinis.

Awesome.


hhhhhhhADOUKEN *drunk*

MMMM flavored vodka with candies.

How can I order a set?

In actuality, the "lemonaid" tastes like raisins.

Heh if I could figure out what the laws are for shipping booze into the states I'd be more than happy to take orders lol. But something tells me I might have some issues at customs. Maybe if I send it with Christmas or Birthday cards they'll think it's a gift.

Also, for anyone who doesn't understand Karevek's reply (or the lemonaide vodka label) watch this:

is there going to be an official tasting party?

This batch has already been distributed as gifts but you're welcome to place an order Garsk I do custom flavours.

Amazing. Let me know when the backstab-berry flavor comes on the market.

What kind of Vodka do you use?
