Candy Corn Martini

I first saw this infused vodka on Pinterest last year and really wanted to give it a try.   It is super simple.

Infused Candy Corn Vodka

1 bag candy corn
2 c vodka (I used citrus)

Pour candy corn into mason jar, or any clean jar.  Pour vodka on top, shake to get the process started  and let steep for 3-5 hours.  Filter vodka through cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids.  Chill.

After shaking

After three hours

I then used the infused vodka to make this delicious martini

4 oz candy corn infused vodka
1 oz orange liquor
juice of 1/2 lemon

Shake in cocktail shaker with ice.  Strain and pour into martini glass.  Garnish with candy corn.

Using the citrus vodka gives this drink a little extra punch.  Delicious.

My plans are to use the remaining infused vodka to make jello shots for the parents who are trick or treating with their kids.  Parents need a little "treat" too!
