This version of the Candy Corn Martini, a popular Halloween cocktail of unknown origin, is reimagined with vanilla vodka, honey, and herbal liqueurs, layered with pomegranate and cranberry for a playful, candy-inspired look with a touch of sophistication.
Base Spirit: Vodka
Method: Shaken
Serving Size: 1
Add vodka, honey liqueur, and Galliano to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into a stemless martini glass.
Add grenadine and cranberry juice to a mixing glass.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 5-7 seconds.
Slowly pour down the side of the glass so the grenadine and cranberry juice mixture sinks to the bottom.
Garnish with whipped cream and candy corn.
