candy corn infused vodka

**halloween71** · 10-13-2010,11:28 AM

I did the skittles loved the lime one.So I thought how about candy corn so I filled a 16 oz water bottle with vodka and put around 100 candy corn in.
It dissolved within a couple of hours and is a nice orange.It taste alright on it's own (not a shot person)but what else could it mix with I was thinking orange soda-kool aid.
Next time I think I use vanilla schnapps and see how that taste.

I would think maybe Sprite/7Up would mix well with that. Did you have to run it thru a filter like skittle shots, or does the candy corn pretty much all disolve?

I was a bartender for over 10 years and I have no idea what you would mix that with. You have stumped me. Candy corn really doesn't have a flavor if you start looking at the recipe for it. It is corn syrup, sugar, water. More of a marshmallow flavor than anything I think. I think if you mix it with much you are going to lose the magic flavor that is candy corn.

Thinking out loud. Perhaps a "martini" type drink.

Fill shaker with ice.
2.5 oz Candy Corn vodka
splash of Liqor 43 or maybe even Barenjager to enhance the sweetness
.5 oz half and half

Shake well and strain into martini glass. Not sure about a garnish.

I didn't filter..I didn't see a residue in the bottle.
I will check tomorrow and run it thru a filter if it needs it.

Giles-that is what I was thinking that it may lose it's flavor.
I am still thinking of mixers..it taste good on it's own if you like straight liquer.

You could make them into jello shots with orange jello, or even the kool-aid.

I think that if you go with anything flavored orange, you will lose the candy corn flavor. I would bet that the vanilla schnapps is the way to go. Great idea, let us know what turned out??

I pulled it out today to see what it looked like and tasted like.
there was a yellow look at the bottom I am assuming dyes in the candy.but when you shake it it looks cool the yello mingles with orange.
It taste just like candy corn so I may just do them as straight shots.

I made some a couple weeks ago.
I mixed it with FF Vanilla Coffee Cream and Butterscotch Schnapps.
I also tried it with Baily's in place of the cream.
Both were super yummy!
