College brings a time of change. From classmates to blockmates; everyday uniforms to planning daily civilian outfits; and planned soirees to everyday soirees. But the biggest change is the change from the always-controversial OPEN PARTIES to chill HOUSE PARTIES. Being able to host (and make successful) one of these house parties is a true step into college life.

Here’s a fun and easy to make drink that will have your friends begging you to plan more parties.

Ingredients:

• 3 packs of Skittles
• 5 empty glass bottles
• any plain vodka
• coffee filter

Procedure:

1. Open the bags of Skittles and separate the different colors.
2. Place the separated Skittles in their respective glass bottles.
3. Pour in an ounce of clear vodka for every 10 pieces of skittles in each bottle (preferably The Bar Silver because it is cheap and easy to mix with but other more expensive vodkas will do).
4. Leave the mixture overnight to dissolve the Skittles; shaking it every 2 hours to speed the dissolving process.
5. The next day, strain the contents of the bottle using a coffee filter for there are white slow dissolving particles at the bottom of each bottle.
6. Freeze the mixture
7. Enjoy and always serve cold
