After my first foray into DIY vodka (Blackberry vodka), I have been itching to experiment with other types of vodka. So after a little research I came up with this simple recipe for making your own DIY Toffee Vodka.
1. You will need a bottle of vodka (the cheap stuff is fine), a packet of Werther’s Original and a sterilised Mason Jar.
2. Simply mix a cheap bottle vodka with a packet of Werther’s Original sweets.
3. Shake every few hours over 2 days until the toffee has dissolved.
4. And voila! Toffee Vodka.
I reckon that the majority of my Christmas gifts this year to others will be homemade booze, I hope they like it! What do you think? Maybe decorate a little bottle with ribbon and give to a loved one at Christmas?
Do you have any other boozy recipes to recommend for other Christmas gifts?

ooooh, this looks lovely.
Everyone is getting homemade gifts from me this year – one of them is Limoncello. which is just lemon rinds soaked in Vodka for an age and then mixed with a simple syrup. I have had mine going since july & its super lemony & yellow, but if you start now you’ll defo have time. I got my recipe from here http://j.mp/nvZKt6

I want to try this – what would you mix it with?

I am a vodka and lemonade girl, through and through. It is quite a sweet combination so you might only want one at a time. It’s almost like those american cream sodas.
Next I might experiment with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime – the spice and sour might off-set the sweetness more.

I don’t drink alcohol but I find this completely amazing that the candy just dissolves. Crazy!

Siobhan asks a good question – what do you mix it with?
It’s nice a single shot on it’s own. But I nearly always mix my vodka with lemonade, it’s super-sweet but yummy.

Or apple juice. Making some sort of toffee apple martini concoction.

That would be a perfect Halloween cocktail – a toffee apple martini!
Oh my word. This looks/sounds AMAZING. I need to make this. How long does it take to dissolve? I’d love this for christmas.
It was fully dissolved after 2 days. I just keep giving it a shake to get the sugar mixed in well.
Thanks for the tip
Enjoy your day.

I did this the other year as well as Christmas Pudding Vodka. Well lets just say that when the bottles were opened there was not much left by the end of the evening.

How long does it keep for, I’d love to make some for Christmas pressies but not sure I’ll have the time a few days before the 25th Dec?
I should think it keeps for a while. You just need to give it a shake as there may be some settled toffee. I’ve had mine for 2 weeks and it still tastes the same.
