[ 0 ] October 29, 2009 | Johnna

For the infused vodka:

1/2 cup candy corn

1 1/2 cups vodka

For the cordials:

2 ounces orange liqueur

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 large egg white

Candy corn, for garnish

Infuse the vodka: Combine the candy corn and vodka in an airtight container; set aside for at least 3 hours, then strain.

Make the cordials: Add 4 ounces of the candy corn vodka, the orange liqueur, lemon juice and egg white to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Strain into 2 chilled martini glasses and garnish with candy corn.

Johnna’s tip: Halloween is here and it’s time to pull out all the candy corn, pumpkin carving tools and costumes. Our candy corn martini recipe is courtesy Savvy Events blog, which features two other festive recipes that you might want to try. Plenty of alcohol will be had and why not start the night off with a strong but sweet martini?? Have a safe and happy Halloween!!
