🎃 Candy Corn Shots
A sweet, creamy Halloween party shot inspired by classic candy corn, with bright orange, golden yellow, and creamy white layers.
Makes: 6 shots
Prep time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 oz (60 ml) vanilla vodka
2 oz (60 ml) orange liqueur
2 oz (60 ml) pineapple juice
2 oz (60 ml) coconut rum
2 oz (60 ml) heavy cream
1 oz (30 ml) grenadine
Whipped cream
Orange, yellow & white sprinkles
Candy corn, for garnish
Ice
Instructions
Prepare the rims: Lightly coat the rims of 6 shot glasses with simple syrup or a little honey. Dip them into a mixture of orange, yellow and white sprinkles.
Make the orange layer: Combine the orange liqueur, vanilla vodka and grenadine with ice. Shake until very cold. Pour a small amount into the bottom third of each glass.
Create the yellow layer: Shake the pineapple juice and coconut rum with ice. Slowly pour it over the back of a spoon onto the orange layer. This helps keep the colors separated.
Add the creamy white layer: Slowly pour chilled heavy cream over the back of a clean spoon to form the final white layer.
Decorate: Top each shot with a small swirl of whipped cream and a pinch of Halloween sprinkles.
Place one piece of candy corn on top of each shot and serve immediately.
Layering tip: Chill every ingredient before assembling. Pouring slowly over the back of a spoon is the key to creating those sharp candy-corn layers.
