Looking for a spooky, sweet, and fun way to enjoy Halloween festivities? This Candy Corn Booze cocktail is perfect for your next Halloween party or fall gathering! Inspired by the colors of candy corn, this layered cocktail combines vodka infused with candy corn for a festive treat that will impress your guests. It’s both a fun conversation piece and a tasty, boozy beverage.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup candy corn
- 1 1/2 cups vodka
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional for layering effect)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Candy corn (for garnish)
Directions:
Step 1: Make Candy Corn-Infused Vodka
- In a jar or container, combine the candy corn and vodka.
- Let the mixture sit for 4-6 hours (or overnight) to infuse the vodka with candy corn flavor and color. Shake the jar occasionally to help dissolve the candy corn.
- Once fully infused, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining candy pieces.
Step 2: Prepare the Cocktail
- Fill a shaker with ice, then add 2 oz of the candy corn-infused vodka, 1/4 cup of orange juice, and 1/4 cup of pineapple juice.
- Shake well until everything is thoroughly mixed and chilled.
Step 3: Create the Layers
- Pour the cocktail mixture into a glass filled with ice.
- For a fun layered effect, gently pour 2 tablespoons of heavy cream on top of the mixture. The cream will float on top, creating a distinct layer.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Top with a swirl of whipped cream and garnish with a few candy corn pieces to complete the festive look.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet, boozy treat!
Tips:
- Make it even more festive: Serve the cocktail in a fun Halloween-themed glass or use colored sugar to rim the glasses for an extra pop of color.
- Non-creamy version: If you prefer to skip the heavy cream, simply serve the cocktail as is with whipped cream and candy corn garnish.
This Candy Corn Booze cocktail is a deliciously sweet and playful drink that’s perfect for Halloween. With its candy-like flavor and vibrant colors, it’s sure to be a hit at any party! Enjoy responsibly and have fun with this spooky, seasonal treat.
