What ingredients do I need to make a Candy Corn Martini?
This fancy vodka cocktail is a fun adult beverage when Halloween rolls around. Make up a batch of the vodka and keep it on hand for the month of October.
-
- Candy Corn Infused Vodka – Easily make your own to have on hand for other fun drinks.
- Pineapple Juice – I like to keep the smaller 6-ounce cans on hand so there’s not so much waste.
- Heavy Cream – Sometimes also called heavy whipping cream.
- Candy Corn Nonpareils – The candy corn nonpareils are orange, yellow, and white. You can also use a Halloween mix if you prefer.
- Corn Syrup – It’s really the best option to make the nonpareils stick to the martini glass.
What does candy corn taste like?
Candy corn has creamy vanilla and marshmallow flavors with a fondant-like texture. It’s a candy you either like or dislike. There is no in-between.
What type of glass do you use to make martinis?
A martini glass. They can be long-stemmed or short but the classic V shape allows more exposure to the air allowing the vodka to open up.
A true martini glass, as opposed to a coupe or rocks glass, is the better choice.
