Review of Black Cow Vodka - made from Pure Milk!

My first review package for the year arrived in the form of a bottle of Black Cow Vodka that was sent to me by Bounty Hunter Rare Wine & Spirits. Bounty Hunter has over 20 years of experience with tracking down the best wines in the business and that includes spirits. Currently, Bounty Hunter is the only place in the United States to get Black Cow Vodka.

Black Cow Vodka is the world's only Pure Milk Vodka made entirely of milk in West Dorset in England. I had no idea that vodka could be made from milk and the end result is a very strong yet smooth vodka. Watch my reaction to my first tasting in the video below.

How To Make Skittles Infused Vodka!

Ingredients

• One 1.75 liter bottle of vodka
• Five 8.5 ounce flasks or bottles
• One 1 pound bag of Skittles
• Five empty plastic water bottles
• A funnel
• Bowls for separating the Skittles into flavors
• A measuring cup (not pictured)
• Coffee filters or paper towels

Instructions

Step 1: Separate Skittles into Different Flavors

Step 2: Setup Vodka Skittle Water Bottles

Take one empty water bottle for each of the different Skittle flavors that you want to make into Skittle Vodka shots. Fill each of the water bottles with approximately 6 ounces of vodka. Next, pour each Skittle flavor into a different water bottle that is filled with vodka. Simply add each color to a different vodka water bottle.

Step 3: Sha-Sha-Shake It

Start by shaking each water bottle that now should be full of vodka and skittles. You should shake each bottle until the colored candy coating has already rubbed off into the vodka. After shaking the bottles, set the bottles aside for a few hours. Then shake the bottles again to get the Skittles to fully dissolve.

Step 4: Strain White Leftovers

Now strain all the white left over gunk that is left in each water bottle. To get the while leftovers out you can either use paper towels or coffee strainers. If using a coffee filter you will also need a funnel to place the filters over. Keep straining through new coffee strainers until all the white stuff is no longer in the water bottles. Once each color Vodka Skittle mix is thoroughly strained pour the mix into a measuring cup. From there scoop any remaining white gunk out and poor into the flask or bottle you have chosen to use.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Take each flask or bottle and put them in your freezer. Let the bottles or flasks stay in the freezer for at least a few hours, preferably overnight. Once the mixes have been completely frozen the drink is ready to serve.

This drink makes great:

• Shots for at your house party
• Served chilled in a martini glass
• Mixed with Sprite or 7-Up
• Mixed with Coke or Diet Coke
• Mixed with Fruit Juice
