Danger-Mouse Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Never tried it myself but I`m sure I remember reading a recipe on here where someone put Werther`s Originals into vodka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMoody3 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Werthers originals does work, as do most soft boiled sweets. Missus tried it with skittles once for a party, went down a storm but I refuse to sit there and help separate the colours of 10 massive bags of skittles again lol. There is a new company called old vodka based a few miles up the road from me, they sell a caramel vodka which I've heard lots of good things about, bakerboy on here went to a tasting and said that the caramel one did stand out. Not tried it personally as they only used to sell trade, but I think they have just started selling it on Amazon of all places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzab Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Worked in a nightclub for years. We made all sorts of flavours. Toffee mint Milky bar Cherry drops To name just a few. Our rules.... If it crushed up and fitted in a bottle we tried it. Just let them sit in store for few weeks shaking every now and then. Soon had some amazing stuff.

We had a tasting (26 of us) 6 different Vodkas, at £7.50 per head. I have never seen so many people drunk on such a small expenditure. I recently paid £70.00 for 4 drinks at the Shard and they had no effect at all. Edited October 19, 2015 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive put vanilla pods in bottles before and did a vanilla and coconut vodka. It works well, the coconut and vanilla was like an unsweetened Malibu.

Personally I'd try it first without adding the vanilla pod because it's very tasty as it is I find shake the bottle or jar up once you have made it and let it stand for 24 hours to let the flavours mingle trust me you,'ll enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 i first met my good lady , when i was working as a doorman at a nightclub and vodka bar , she was the manager , and was in charge of mixing the speciality vodkas . they were made by mixing industrial strength (cheap and nasty) vodka , with flavoured syrups , and food colourings . they were mixed in old plastic coke bottles , then decanted into fancy glass bottles , and given a posh name , they were then sold to drunk people , at massively over inflated prices. knowing the reality , sort of took the shine off it for me.

Lol theres a surprise like watering down the beer years ago like some used to do But seriously folks Just a word of warning to everyone though high proof alcholol in plastic bottles is not recommend and there's a reason why glass bottles are used high proof alcohlol can leach out and disolve the nasties in plastic and hold it in suspension so be careful Edited May 14, 2021 by hafod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnorman32 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi, Regarding the Vodka mix. If I add 125ml Home bargains syrup to 650mls Vodka,do I mix and leave for a couple of weeks or is it good after 24hrs like the commercial Flavourings? Cheers N.
