Bubbling Candy Corn Martini and Creamy Candy Corn Cocktail


I had so much fun creating these two cocktails for Halloween.  My sister inspired my desire to create these since she likes candy corns more than me which is HUGE because I love candy corns.  But here's the thing... I am not one for very sweet drinks, and these are sweet since I infused the candy corns in marshmallow vodka.  The recipe for these Halloween party cocktails can be found on my web site page                                                             http://www.newenglandfineliving.com/Candy-Corn-Cocktail-Martini-Recipes.html




This photo shows the crystallized candy corn wedge that I created.  I did not notice the candle I had going during the video softened it and it slid into the glass during most of the photos.  Minor technical difficulty!
