31 Days of Halloween: BONUS

For a bonus post on my 31 days of Halloween, I wanted to actually do something with the Candy Corn Vodka I made. There were a few different recipes for Candy Corn Martinis so I decided to try a couple different ones.

Candy Corn Martini #1 Ingredients:
1 C Candy Corn Vodka

1/4 C butterscotch schnapps

Egg White (optional, I chose not to use it)

Candy Corn for garnish

Mix ingredients in a cocktail shaker over ice and pour in a martini glass with a few candy corn in the bottom.

This one tasted exactly like candy corn in liquid form and was absolutely delicious.

Candy Corn Martini #2 Ingredients:

3 ounces Candy Corn Vodka
3 ounces Absolut Vanilla Vodka
1 ounce of Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
2 tablespoons of sugar (for rimming the glass)

Candy Corn for garnish

Rim the glass with liquor of your choice and dip in sugar. Then add all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and pour into prepared glasses. Add candy corn at the bottom if desired.

-The Grand Marnier had a powerful presence in this one. I was surprised since the portion was a 1/3 of the other liquors. It was quite tasty still but didn't taste as much like candy corn as the first especially considering candy corn has no orange flavor. The sugared rim was a nice touch though.

Candy Corn Cordial Ingredients:

3 oz Candy Corn Vodka
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
Juice of 1 Lemon
Splash of Lemon-Lime Soda
Candy Corn for garnish

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker over ice and pour into a martini glass. Garnish with candy corn.

-This one is definitely too lemony, I didn't have a whole lemon so I just squired some lemon juice in there. It might taste a little more like candy corn than the second one but I think in order of liking them, we'll go 1, 2, 3.
