- 1 cup Skittles candies (separate into colors if desired)
- 2 cups water

- Once the Skittles candies have infused into the alcohol for 24 hours, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large mixing bowl or pitcher to remove any remaining candy debris.
- Add the cooled simple syrup to the infused alcohol, stirring to combine and create the Skittles moonshine mixture.
