I would say if your making them straight into those size bottles go for about 6 to 8 sweets, but bash them small. I'll be totally honest and say your cutting it fine for xmas.
There one of those things that i've found you can't add more sweets, I made a batch of christmas pudding vodka, but put too many ingredients in looked like cough mixture, but managed to decant it and put half vodka mix and then topped ip with vodka, with a good shake it worked, think it was more luck than judgement.

Thanks. I'm going to make 200ml of each flavour and then decant them into the smaller bottles. What was the christmas pudding one like? Thinking about next year now, buying christmas puds after christmas when they're reduced., very MSE.

Iv just made a bottle of peardrop vodka, i just popped in a quarter of pear drops and the sweets had dispersed within 4 hours. Any it tastes and smells a treat
Thinking about doing a cola cube one now

The christmas pudding came out a bit to think like cough medicine, so I put half the amounr into a bottle and topped up with plain vodka, luckly its mixed well.
Its gorgeous, once you take the lid off it just smelt like haing an xmas pud wafted under our nose xx

The Worthers vodka we've done is mixing well. Lovely golden creamy colour. Will split into the small bottles soon. Going to go for the chilli one tonight. Using scotch bonnets so I'm sure it'll be firey enough by xmas!

Most stuff breaks up pretty quickly, if your doing a sweet based, - jelly baby, werthers, cola cube etc, - bash them smaller

Fruit only takes couple of days, your have it ready for new year. xx

Don't forget limoncello, folks: zest or peel of two lemons, one stalk of lemongrass (split lengthwise) and a few tablespoons of sugar. It's much quicker with lemon zest but does get there eventually with peel too. Makes a lovely addition to a Christmas morning buck's fizzzzzzzz hic! :beer:
