Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup candy corn
- 1 cup vanilla vodka
- 2 oz orange liqueur (like triple sec)
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- Ice cubes
- Candy corn, for garnish (optional)
- Sugar, for rimming the glass (optional)
Instructions
- Infuse the vodka: In a small jar or container, combine the candy corn and vanilla vodka. Let it sit for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the candy corn has dissolved and infused the vodka.
- Prepare the glasses: If rimming the glass with sugar, moisten the rim of the martini glasses with a little water or orange liqueur, then dip it into a plate of sugar.
- Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, add the infused candy corn vodka, orange liqueur, pineapple juice, and a handful of ice cubes. Shake well until chilled.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into prepared martini glasses and garnish with a few candy corns if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the vanilla vodka with plain vodka, but the vanilla adds a nice creamy sweetness that complements the candy corn.
- For an extra festive touch, add a little whipped cream to the top of the martini.
