Coffee Martini Recipe with Melted Candy Corn
Ingredients:
- 2 shots of espresso (2 ounces)
- 2 ounces vodka, like Tito’s or Grey Goose
- 1 Tablespoon salted caramel syrup
- 8-10 pieces of Candy Corn
Directions:
- Pour espresso, vodka, salted caramel syrup, and ice in a martini shaker.
- Shake vigorously for about a minute.
- Strain and pour into a martini glass.
- Rim glass with Candy Corn.
In a medium size skillet warm 8-10 Candy Corn. Note, you don’t want them completely melted, just warm enough to work with. Once warm, place Candy Corn on a sheet of wax paper. Coating your fingertips with a little coconut oil, roll out thin slivers of Candy Corn. Working in sections, rim the martini glass.
The Z-stem martini glasses add to the Halloween look a bit. I you love coffee and martinis, give this coffee martini recipe a try.
