Candy corn shots

Candy corn is definitely one of those polarizing foods, but I can’t help making something delicious with them every year – it’s almost a tradition at this point! These candy corn shooters are super easy to make and don’t require many ingredients at all! The shot itself is just a mix of candy corn-infused vodka and a little pineapple juice to achieve that orange glow. I loved topping mine with some homemade boozy whipped cream and a little black sanding sugar! 

Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card for quantities.

  • Candy corn: Obviously!
  • Vodka: Pick your favorite high quality vodka.
  • Pineapple juice: Go for 100% juice. Orange juice would also work if you don’t have pineapple on hand.
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Cream Liqueur: I recommend Baileys Irish Cream or a coconut cream liqueur like Rumchata’s.
  • Black Sanding Sugar: Or Halloween sprinkles of your choice!

How to Make This Recipe

Candy Corn Vodka

Step 1: Add candy corn and vodka to a jar and seal. Infuse for 1+ hours in the refrigerator, allowing the candy corn to dissolve in the vodka. Shake occasionally.

Step 2: Strain out any solids and discard.

Boozy Whipped Cream

Combine heavy whipping cream and cream liqueur in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Taste and add powdered sugar to taste, if you’d like a sweeter whipped cream.

Candy Corn Shooters

Step 1: Combine pineapple juice and candy corn vodka in a shot glass. Top with a dollop of boozy whipped cream. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and enjoy immediately.

Tips for Making Candy Corn Shooters

  • Infusing the candy corn longer will result in a sweeter vodka.
  • Chill the vodka and pineapple juice.
