Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Candy corn
- 1.5 cups Vodka
- 1 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau, Triple Sec)
- 1 oz Half-and-half
- 1 cup Ice
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 drops Orange food coloring (optional)
- 3 pieces Candy corn (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by making candy corn-infused vodka: Combine 0.5 cup of candy corn and 1.5 cups of vodka in an airtight jar or bottle. Shake well. Let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight, shaking occasionally. Strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve to remove undissolved candy.
Chill martini glasses in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
In a shallow dish, spread 2 tablespoons of sugar. Run a small amount of water or orange liqueur along the rim of each martini glass. Dip the rims into the sugar to coat evenly, creating a festive sugared edge.
Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice. Add 4 oz of candy corn vodka, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 1 oz of half-and-half. Add 2 drops of orange food coloring if desired for a vibrant look.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix thoroughly.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glasses.
Garnish each glass with a few pieces of candy corn for a festive finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
