Two Fun Halloween Cocktails

To make it, you add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, add in the vodka, melon liqueur, and pineapple juice and shake for a few seconds.

Pour it into the martini glasses, and add in a splash of 7Up.

The fun part is how to get the red grenadine to create a layer at the bottom!

It’s easy.

You stick the handle end of a spoon into the martini, so it touches the bottom of the glass.

Then you slowly pour the grenadine onto the back of the spoon and allow it to follow the handle all the way to the bottom of the drink.

We made these “monster-y” with the addition of the little zombie guys, but the red and green layers would make this the perfect color for a Christmas cocktail, too!

Candy Corn Martini

This is another delicious Halloween cocktail.

This martini is fast to assemble when you’re ready to drink it, but it does require a bit of planning ahead in order to infuse your vodka with the candy corn.

You won’t be disappointed though, especially if you’re a candy corn lover! The combination of the cake vodka and the candy corn is good.

How to Infuse Vodka for Martinis

Infusing the vodka is easy.

Just add 1/4 cup of candy corn to the bottom of a jar with a lid.

Then cover the candy with 6 ounces of cake vodka.

Allow it to sit in the fridge for several hours, or even better, overnight.

When you’re ready to prepare your drinks, strain out what’s left of the candy and discard it.

You will be left with this bright orange candy corn-flavored vodka with a cake-y essence. 🎉

Prepare your martini glasses by dipping the rim of the glass in some corn syrup, which will act kind of like glue.

Glue that tastes good. 🤪

Then turn the sticky rim through some orange sprinkles or orange sugar for a pretty garnish.

Assembling the martinis is simple.

Pour some candy corn vodka into the bottom of each glass.

Then, add the pineapple juice. And finally, top with the cream.

The orange zombie guys are optional but fun, and they take your spooky cocktail to the next level.

I mean, it’s Halloween, during a pandemic, so we should take whatever little opportunities we can for fun is what I say.
