Candy Corn Vodka

It’s no trick! This Candy Corn Vodka is a total treat fit for Halloween. Infuse vodka with the iconic tri-striped candy to yield a pumpkin-colored spirit worthy of the spookiest party.

Love it or hate it, candy corn season is here, and this Candy Corn Vodka is here to prove it.

Candy corn is one of the top-selling Halloween candies in the nation, but those little neon-striped pyramids can divide a crowd in a heartbeat.

My cousin loves it more than anyone I’ve ever met. When she went to college, my dad would send her a care package every fall — mainly just a box full of candy corn, her favorite.

My dad, on the other hand, will not touch the stuff. Unless it’s to mail said care packages.

Me? I’m on the fence. I’ll eat a few, but after a while they just taste like sugar to me!

Apparently it’s extra terrible for your teeth (can’t say I’m that surprised), which dentists must love.

But Halloween comes just once a year, so thankfully there’s few opportunities to overindulge.

That is, unless you’re into the various other color schemes offered throughout the year. (Red and pink cupid corn, anyone? Hard pass!)

Plus, I’m not sure that the red & green Christmas candy corn combination would result in quite as gorgeous a color for candy-corn-infused vodka.

Candy corn recipes

If you’re a candy corn fanatic, you might be in search of candy corn recipes to enjoy throughout October.

You’re in luck, because there’s a lot out there! From Candy Corn Trash to Candy Corn Oreo Pops, there’s something for everyone.

Did you know you can even make your own candy corn?

Candy corn infused spirits

But you might be surprised to learn you can also drink your candy corn.

Oh yes, Candy Corn Vodka is here to help you toast to Halloween this year.

This pumpkin-colored spirit is a cinch to make. Here’s how to do it:

1. Toss candy corn and vodka into a jar or bowl.
2. Let it sit for a while with vodka and…

Boom! Now you have Candy Corn Vodka.

Variations on candy corn vodka

Feel free to sub out the vodka for a clear moonshine or silver rum that you can use to mix into cocktails. I bet candy corn rum or candy corn moonshine would be really delicious and fun!

If you’re in a pinch, you can use plain or vanilla vodka and add 2-3 drops of each red and yellow food coloring to achieve a similar look, though it will lack that special candy corn flavor.

Candy corn cocktails

If you’re hosting a Halloween party, you could easily whip up a few batches of this Candy Corn Vodka recipe to serve to your guests.

You can use it in a Candy Corn Martini, which layers candy corn vodka with pineapple juice and heavy cream, and it looks just like a candy corn cocktail.

A Candy Corn Moscow mule would also be pretty delicious. Mix your candy corn vodka with lime juice and your favorite ginger beer for a seasonal Moscow mule.

But it’s also sweet enough to sip over ice or even enjoy as a shooter. (Just make sure you brush your teeth afterward!)

Halloween party recipes

You can definitely have fun with the drink menu at a Halloween party.

Love the candy theme? Try a Tootsie Roll cocktail or even Skittles-infused vodka, especially if you add a cube of dry ice for some witchy fun.

A cocktail of Vodka Gummy Worms or spooky Glow-in-the-Dark Jell-O Shots would make a lasting impression too.

All of these would go perfectly with a dessert table filled with Halloween popcorn balls, candy corn caramel popcorn and Halloween rice krispy treats.

Not hosting a party this year?

Candy Corn Vodka would be the perfect Hocus Pocus-esque hostess gift for the friend who throws the best Halloween parties.

(Though it might be a good idea to find out her opinion on candy corn first!) 

Infused liqueur recipes

If you enjoy making infused spirits, you might check out this homemade spiced rum or this homemade coffee liqueur.

And if you love candy, this marshmallow vodka recipe or this peppermint vodka recipe might be right up your alley. (I even have a Peeps vodka recipe for Easter season.)
