Toffee vodka .... help please !!!

nmjams

just made it, i put 2 1/2 x 150gm bags of the hard werthers to 1/2 litre of vod

anybody know if this is enough, and how long will it take for them to dissolve?

i don't wanna try it friday night and find out its disgusting and needing more werthers.

will it be creamy? or do i need to add some cream when the toffee has disolved?

I'd love to make the skittles and toffee vodka to put into gift baskets at xmas. How long do they last out of the fridge/freezer??

Just was about to post same question as above !!!!

I made marsbar vodka in January but we haven't drunk it yet - barely drink these days but would like to have it if its still ok - It looks ok, and I think it smelled ok - perhaps it is ok ?

My skittles vodka has a huge froth on top which Im guessing I need to get rid of, any ideas what I can filter it through??

Hi Ella,

I made the skittles vodka and i put kitchen paper into a sift (*sp) and placed a jug underneath to catch the yummy vodka.

Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas of what I could use for bottles?

Also filtering the skittles out of the mixture??

I also cant seem to find any instructions/ideas on how to make labels for the labels. Does anyone have any idea where the thread went?


Thanks

Jen

i use coffee filter papers, i just cellotape them to a jug and pour the vodka in taking care not to fill the paper too much or the cellotape comes unstuck and youhave top start again with a really sticky mess :eek: . yes i learned the hard way.

i also wait until everything is disolved before i filter as this gets rid of all the scum which you get on top with the skittles.

Cant help with how long it lasts tho as i gave all mine as gifts last year and they were gone before new years eve lol:rotfl:

what vodka is everyone using this year, i used cheap stuff last year and no one seemed to notice but then again i didnt have any so cant comment on how they tasted.

Another good one to use instead of skittles and gives the same flavour is Asda sherbert fruits, the end product is really delicious, now this one i did try and then had difficulty sharing what was left out between my bottles, whoops

Here is a Wiki guide to chocolate vodka (mars bars)

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Chocolate-Vodka

It says to melt the mars bars on the stove, then add the vodka to that, being careful not to boil. But...for me, that would end up in a flaming mess, so I can't see any reason why I could not do it the other way around and melt the mars bars then add them to the vodka...? Or would hot chocolate + cold vodka = seized chocolate lumps...? I do not have a dishwasher, so can't use that method.

if you add the vodka to the chocolate while still on stove then the vodka would heat up to the chocolate temperature much quicker than the other way round, if you did it the other way round then you would be cooling the chocolate with the vodka so hence hard chocolate again and we dont want that also make sure it doesnt boil as the chocolate will go grainy and the vodka would boil off the alcohol and we dont want that iether lol.
