Recipe:
2 cans Energy Drink (Red Bull)
1/2 packageSkittles Candy
4 shots Vodka
2 glasses Rose Wine
4 shots ouzo anise Liqueur
1/2 packageMarshmellows Candy

Instructions

Start by adding redbull or other energy drink into clear plastic bottle. Redbull seems to taste the nicest and seems standard, so for best results stick with it. After that add around 1/2 a pack of Candy (Skittles) (dependant on how merry you'd like to be, add more for flavour and buzz) Shake well untill Candy (Skittles) have lost colour and coloured the redbull (hence clear plastic bottle) Now add the Vodka shots one by one. Mix by shaking ensure no foam is present from bubbling. After the Vodka has been added, add the rose Wine to give more volume and flavour. Once the Wine has been added, add the marshmellows these should float around the surface but try to ensure they absorb enough of the liquid to turn colour. (usually a pink colour) Chill for 15 minutes in the fridge, make sure is doesnt freeze. Serve in a big bowl or straight from bottle. Diabetics should stay away from this drink goes without saying due to the large quantities of Sugar. Plus this is pretty hardcore so make sure you drink with someone else who can look after you.
