Notes
Candy Corn Vodka: The ratio I used for this infusion was 2 to 1, vodka to candy corn. You can tailor your desired batch size based on this ratio.Plan to make at least 5 days before making the Candy Corn Martini for optimum flavor.Vanilla Vodka: This vodka infuses quickly and is a warm, flavorful addition to a number of seasonal cocktails.
