Sigh... best flavour for dishwasher vodka, please. Again...

[Miljah]

I've forgotten which ones 'worked'!

We've done 'forest berries' (frozen), needed a lot of sugar;
Skittles sorted into colours to avoid sludge-effect
Werther's

But I can't recall which was the nicest!

I think it was the red/orange/yellow skittles.

Am I right??!

And- again, remind me- how long in the dishwasher?

Like 'Winter', Christmas is coming.

OMG.

What’s this about a dishwasher?!

Yellow skittle vodka tastes like CIF

I've only ever done boiled sweets, or sherbet lemons.

Which boiled sweets?

How do you make vodka in a dish washer???

Rhubarbs and custards - delicious!

Ah, every Christmas the new dishwasher vodka converts appear.

Werthers vodka is amazing but stupidly difficult to get the sweets through the neck of the bottle.

Put the werthers in a sock. Briskly apply hammer or large spoon. Put broken bits in the bottle.

What am I missing doing with my dishwasher????

Put the werthers in a sock.

Don't you get bits of sock fluff in the vodka though?

Hmm, maybe a kilner jar would work...

Army navy sweets work well

Plastic bag rather than sock?

Yeah, I didn't have any heavy duty plastic bags before, they just split when I bashed them.

Parma violets

Parma violets! There's a concept I would never have come up with! 😊

Do you wash the sock before hammering the sweet in it?

Found the method for us novices

Christmas pudding vodka sounds like my kind of thing

I think I'll stick to using my dishwasher for washing dishes...

The Irish cream recipe looks good too. Wonder what it would be like with brandy instead of whiskey

Butter mintoes!

Mars Bars, easy to chop them up small enough to get into the bottle and the end result is lovely!

Fisherman's Friends?

Cough candy, Kola cube, Rhubarb and Custard and Werthers are all favourites here.

Berry Skittles are the best. Normal skittles are best separated (if you leave the green ones in the mixture the whole thing goes brown)

Thanks, all! And, safariboot, if you've been on MN 14 years, you'll've read of far worse things going into the dishwasher than bottles of vodka!
