Just read it, thats a life changer!

[cham08]

do you drink these straight? I couldnt find a nice mixer for toffee vodka?

Yes drink it straight.

No need for the washing machine/dishwasher etc. Just take about 1/4 to 1/3 of the vodka out and fill up with your desired sweets. Give it a shake every now and then. Will all have dissolved within a week.

Yes it is fine - the more sweets you put in - the sweeter/weaker the vodka is so you should maybe take 1/3rd out. If you take more than this I imagine it would get too syrupy/thick

we always bring a bag of rose but usually drink this when get back to the tent at night as I'd be on my a**e if drank wine all day lol

I took a bag of wine out last year on the Thursday. It bloody evaporated. Then for some reason my legs didn't work properly.

This. Dishwasher makes them in about one hot cycle.

Flavoured vodka. Don't do extra strong mints, it's like drinking cheap mouthwash.

Get a bottle of vodka and experiment with the ratio in small doses then just upscale to the big bottle .

You are aiming to make it drinkable straight with tastes, for a better Drunk/Weight to carry around ratio

I used to read a blog called Infusions of Grandeur that did exactly this! http://www.infusionsofgrandeur.net/

They have some great ideas for vodka infusions and how well each one worked in their archives.

Some of those pics look awful. I wish i could take gin with me as its my absolute favourite but i couldnt drink it warm!

I'll be taking gin this year, the gin hangovers don't seen to be as bad as the whiskey and rum hangovers

Gin is my absolute favourite tipple but i do like it cold with ice and lime (or cucumber depending on the brand) so ive never braved taking it to glastonbury...would love to though!

I might take spiced rum with me because it's on the level with vodka in the hangover stakes, but what can I mix it with? I usually use ginger ale at home, but that might not be so readily available there. I can't drink a lot of caffeine drinks, so I can have coke for only one drink in a space of a few hours.

Any ideas? Just stick to vodka?

I find that vodka is alot easier to take as you have more options for mixers, i tend to take vodka and mix it with cranberry juice which has always served me well. Not a rum fan so i cant really offer any suggestions for mixers

Yep, I've got some blackberry vodka on the brew that I'll mix with lemonade, but was looking to mix it up a bit. It's not Glastonbury unless I'm being over ambitious with the spirits. In my first year two of us took 3l of vodka. We must have drunk about 100ml of it.

Spiced Rum and orange or pineapple juice is nice, I buy the juice there, in 1L cartons to save carrying it
