god..we went there last weekend..and my hair stank of garlic the next day...the garlic beer was erm, interesting...

have to reccomend skittles vodka..just add two or three bags, leave out green ones as they make it taste odd, and leave for a week or so, shaking vigorously every now an then..

id recommend skittle vodka and if you pop over to https://www.aquarterof.com you can order gourmet jellybeans (wild cherry,kiwi and apple are my faves) and add one bag to one bottle wait for the beans to go clear and you will get a sedement ontop of the vodka (i usually leave mine 2 to 3 days) then simply pour through a coffee filter (tesco sell 40 big ones for 99p) and bingo you have cherry,kiwi or apple vodka.

p.s if you make skittle vodka you will want to take out ALL the green skittles as it makes the vodka go brown as opposed to a lovely redish colour.

In my student days we used to get watermelons and infuse them with vodka - great for parties! All you need to do is get a watermelon, take a plastic funnel, stick it as deep as you can into the melon and pour in the vodka. Keep topping it up over the next 4-5 days (keep it in the fridge or somewhere nice and cool) - you should easily be able to get a litre of vodka into the melon during that time. From what I can remember, it had quite a kick to it!

Plus, we could always truthfully tell our mums we were eating plenty of fruit

Nicer with Coconuts!

My dad used to make these for our new year parties (God bless him xx) and use any leftover alcohol from the year before.

Make holes in the top and drain out the milk into a bowl.
Mix the milk with any alcohol you fancy and pour back into the coconut through a funnel.
Tape over the top and as per above add alcohol each day to top up.
When needed stick straws through the holes and drink - when empty, break open and eat the coconut inside!

Sorry to bring this thread up again, but since the questions I want to ask have been discussed in here, i thought it was as good a place as any.

RE - filtering cheap vodka - can this be done any other way, as we don't have a water filter. If not, as someone else asked, will people be likely to tell? I don't drink vodka, can't stand the stuff, but don't want to give gruesome vodka to people!

Anyone have any other good flavour recommendations other than skittles, toffee and mars bar?

Thanks in advance for any help!

tried chilli vodka, all I can say it was an interesting flavour.....quite liked it.

The way this thread was going could get a vodka 3 course meal:D

just to add to this if you want something less sickly than the toffee/ chocolate ones try Nigella's rhubarb vodka

the ratio is approximately 2 lbs rhubarb to 1 1/2 cups sugar to 1 liter vodka. Cut the rhubarb into 1 1/2 inch pieces, place in a sterilized jar, add sugar, pour vodka over to fill the jar, cover tightly, and shake, shake, shake. Put the jars somewhere cool and dark for at least 6 weeks (I put mine in the fridge), and shake it well on occasion. And force yourself to wait! You can then drain it and bottle it and give it as gifts (or just drink it yourself )

I'm not much of a vodka drinker but it's delicious!

Tesco own brand vodka is very cheap! would do the job perfectly, when you've got other flavour who cares????
