Hey guys, it’s Ro! And today on Nerdy Nummies, I’m making something really cool
because I got so many requests for something Diablo 3 related, and the new game
is coming out, so I thought, I’m gonna make Diablo 3 resource Potion Drinks!
We have all the ingredients to make skittle vodka potion drinks, I saw this
whole Skittle vodka craze going on, on the internet, and I think I found this
recipe from Pintrest! They have everything rainbow on Pinterest.
So let’s get started!
What we’re gonna need today is gonna be glass swing top bottles, these are
pretty big, I found these at IKEA for like, $3.99,
and you’re gonna need 6 of these. And that’s what the vodka is gonna brew in.
Then you’re gonna need 6 of these, they’re just round little, small glass jars.
You can find these at Michael’s, but I found a website where they’re less
expensive, so I’ll put a link below where you can order ‘em.
Also at Michael’s the bottleneck was a little taller and it kind of looked
awkward, so I liked these because they were a shorter little bottle top.
They just look more like a potion jar,
you could use these for like Halloween too!
And then you’re gonna need, coffee filters, skittles, and I had to buy the
regular skittles, and a bag of tropical skittles to get the blue colors I wanted.
Because, these don’t come in the regular bags.
And then sprite, and, vodka!
This is the Dan Akroyd vodka, I picked it out because it was a skull head!
I was like, that’s perfect for Diablo!
Let’s get some crystal head vodka going on in this episode! Yes!
Alright, let’s get started, let’s make some.
The first thing that I’m gonna do is separate the skittles into the different
colors, and I just put ‘em in these little cups.
And then you’re gonna take them and put them in the bottle. I’m gonna start
with orange which is fury for the Barbarian! Which is probably what I’m gonna
play in the game. I haven’t decided if I'm gonna play Barbarian or Demon Hunter,
eeee! I don’t know yet!
OK, so you take these little guys and you stick them in here, so once you got
a little bit on the bottom there, then we’re gonna pour in the vodka.
So you just stick it in here, open this guy, oh gosh!
I feel like I’m making an evil elixir.
So you just take this out, go like this, keep it nice and tight, and you let
that sit overnight.
The only skittle color that I had a little bit of trouble finding was white,
because they don’t make white skittles and I wanted white for um, Monk,
for spirit! Um, his resource is spirit, so, what I did is you can take yellow
skittles, and then you let them dissolve a little bit, before you put them in
the big IKEA swing top bottle. So you just pour them in a little bit of water.
And you just let them sit and dissolve. And you can kind of shake them
a little bit. And it will remove all the yellow, and it just leaves this like,
hazy white color, and then you put whats leftover into the big bottle.
And it will make like this white haze, it’s perfect for spirit for Monk.
Ba-da! This is what the potions look like after sitting out all night.
You can see that there’s like sugar sediment, floating around, um, in the bottles
and that is where we’re gonna use the coffee filters and filter them out.
Filter all that gunky Skittle sugar out of here!
You’re gonna take a little coffee filter, a cup, funnel, and you really stick
it in there. And you’re gonna pour really slow. And filtering does take awhile,
so just take your time. You can pour some in there and just let it sit.
And then it will just drip.
So when this is going on, when this is filtering you can decorate…
Our resource potion bottles, I got some cool stuff, let’s do that!
To decorate the resource potions I got many things, the first thing is I got
this leather rope… Or leather, string, I guess, at Michael’s.
To wrap around our little potions.
I ordered these online from the same site that I ordered the glass bottles,
so I’ll put that link below. But they’re basically gift tags and they’re metal.
Then I got these little sticky gems, I found these at Michael’s and they were the
different colors of the resources, and I was like, oh perfect!
And then I’m gonna use these, they’re basically just bendable jewelry wire,
and we’re gonna use, you know, the pliers to cut ‘em, to make the little rings.
OK, let’s get started!
So, I’m gonna star with this 1, I’m gonna make Barbarian fury color!
So I’m gonna take the little orange color, I think I’m leaning towards barbarian.
I played barbarian in the Diablo 3 beta, and I loved it!
Everyone keeps telling me I’d love Demon Hunter too, but, I really liked
the Barbarian, I look just like a Barbarian! I’m so tall and buff and big!
OK, so, I’m just gonna stick this, a little bit above the end.
And they already have adhesive at the back, but if you buy gems that don’t,
you can use hot glue, or whatever you’d like.
Da-da! Sticks right on there!
And then you’re just gonna stick on all the colors, for each of the resource
color, like so! Bing-bing-bing-bing-bing-bing!
And then you’re gonna take a fine point permanent marker and write the
resource name on top. Because if you’ve had a few of these you might forget
which 1 you’re drinking!
The first one I’m gonna draw is the Witch Doctor, the dark blue for Mana!
So I’m just gonna write mana on it, and, I don’t have any fancy handwriting, but
if you want to use fancy handwriting it will probably look way better!
I’m gonna attempt to.
Now I’m gonna take the metal, the little jewelry metal, and you can buy rings that
are already made, but my roommate already had a bunch of this metal, so I was like,
I’ll just work with it. I’m not a professional jeweler, but I can bend metal!
And it’s, for when you stick it through here, you’re just gonna make it that ring.
Little ones are best, especially because I have small hands. And you just bend it.
Start to bend it to try to make a circle!
And mine are not gonna look round at all, but that’s OK!
Because they’re so small, who’s really gonna notice?
And I’m gonna hold it in my hand so it doesn’t jump away. There we go.
And, ta-da! Little circle!
When you get 6 of those, then you’re just gonna put ‘em on, to your little tags.
Put ‘em around, kind of close ‘em, they’re bendy, so it works. Ta-da!
And do that for each of them.
What I’m doing, instead of closing it all the way, is I’m leaving it, it's hard to see this, but I’m leaving
it a little bit open so we can wrap it around the leather lace.
Once all those are done, time to cut your leather!
So I pre-cut, this is how long I want them.
I like them to cover, I like the leather to cover all the way around,
the neck of the bottle. So, I just start on 1 side, and wrap, 2, and it
goes around like 3 times, before it looks full, and that’s what I like
it to look like. And then I’m just gonna tie a knot. Now I’m just gonna stick our
little potion tags on there. And you want to leave them, like I said a little
bit open, so you can just put them around the leather.
I’m gonna stick it right in the front.
Got it on there! It only took a little bit… But that’s OK!
Ta-da! All the potion bottles are done, they turned out so cute!
New-new-new! But my fingers hurt! Working with metal is a lot harder
than I thought it would be!
And now, these little bottles are ready to be filled with their resource.
After you’ve filtered it, it’s all clear, there’s none of that gunk in there.
Now you’re gonna just take a little funnel, put it in the potion bottle,
and we’re gonna pour it, fill it about 1/2 way, and then the other 1/2 is
gonna be Sprite. You can use whatever combo you want.
I’m gonna add a little bit of Sprite!
Oh it’s bubbling like a little potion! It’s so cute!
Eee!
Then you’re gonna cork it, and you can put it in the fridge to chill,
so they taste yummy!
Ta-da! We have all the class resource potions done!
We have the Demon Hunter’s Hatred and Discipline, we have the Witch Doctor’s Mana,
the Monk’s Spirit, the Barbarian’s Fury, and the Wizard’s Arcane Power.
Thanks you guys for watching I really appreciate it, thanks for suggesting this,
I really wanted to do something Diablo 3! Speaking of Diablo 3, if you are
gonna be playing it, please leave me a comment below and let me know which class
you’re gonna be playing because, I can’t decide…
Barbarian, Demon Hunter? I don’t know which resource I’m gonna need yet,
you know what I’m saying?
So leave me a comment, let me know what you are going to do, and if you have
any other suggestions for any other Nerdy Nummies, please leave me a comment and
let me know and I will do my best to make them happen.
OK, bye-bye!
