Great idea of the day: Use Skittles to flavor and color your drinks

Aside from using them as a interior design palette, Offbeat Bride showed us that Skittles candies can also be used to color and flavor your drinks!

Make this Jack Daniel’s soap dispenser

What a lovely way to reuse those liquor bottles: slap a pump dispenser on the top and VOILA! Frothy Jack Daniel’s soap dispenser, for some perfect clean-hand hair-of-the-dog action. Oh and of course you can buy one on Etsy for $20, if you’re not feeling crafty.

My House Hunters drinking game

Everyone’s buzzing this week about HGTV‘s House Hunters being fake. Instead of acting outraged that a staged reality show is staged, I say LET’S DRINK! Wanna play it with me? Here’s how.

Rainbow orange peel Jello shots

How cool are these rainbow, orange slice Jello shots!? The fabulous hostess behind these culinary delights, Lauren, explained how you can do this yourself for your next party.

Make these DIY crystal bottle stoppers

Right? Cupcakes and Cashmere has the tutorial on how you can transform a little epoxy, a pretty stone, a cork stopper and into something super cool for the top of your liquor cabinet. Good for gifts, parties, and little presents to yourself. (The presents of which I speak are boozepresents.)

Make waffle shots this weekend. WAFFLE SHOTS.

OH MAH GERD. These waffle-themed shots (OJ, lemon juice, maple syrup, gelatin and vodka) by Jelly Shot Test Kitchen are AMAZEBALLS. I want to become gently inebriated from these so bad.

I recently made the Frozen Tart Cherrytini and really enjoyed its tart sweetness. I used raw sugar and skipped the frozen cherry garnish since they didn’t have any available at our local co-op. If you find cosmos too sweet but like them in theory, this is the drink for you!

Infuse vodka for delicious, easy-to-handle homemade gifts

My best friend and I have reached a point in our relationship where we pretty much only exchange alcohol — but it’s just as appropriate for someone I barely know. Booze gifts aren’t right for everyone, but they’re appropriate for such a wide range of people as to be super useful in difficult gifting straights. You can make the gift of a good bottle more personal by making it yourself with one of these recipes for infused vodka.
