VAMPIRE'S KISS MARTINI - Halloween Cocktail



The Vampire's Kiss Martini is guaranteed to ward off any blood sucking pest that comes your way. Why? Because it's a Garlic Martini - the twist comes in the form of black colored, slightly spiced vodka and an unusual cocktail pick.

If you're a garlic lover you'll enjoy this classic vodka martini that's garnished with a pickled clove of garlic instead of an olive.  If you're not a garlic lover you might want to put that olive back in!

Oh, one more thing.  Vampires aren't the only things garlic wards off so if you're looking to hook up you might want to try Halloween Martinis 1 through 30 instead.

NATIONAL CANDY CORN DAY!
Celebrate with these Candy Corn Cocktail Recipes, Homemade Candy Corn Liquor Recipes and Candy Corn Trivia

This classic orange, yellow and white candy has been a Halloween staple for decades and it's almost impossible to get through Halloween without eating at least one handful of candy corn.  With a basic vanilla flavor, candy corn makes a perfect flavor profile for all my candy inspired booze below:


A FEW CANDY CORN FACTS:
  • Candy Corn was invented by George Renninger and produced by the Wunderlee Candy Company in the  1880's.
  • One serving of candy corn contains only about 140 calories  
  • Halloween accounts for 75% of the annual candy corn production 
  • Candy Corn is not just for Halloween anymore - you can now get red, green and white Reindeer corn for Christmas. Indian Corn which is chocolate and vanilla flavored, red, white and pink Cupid Corn for Valentine's Day and pastel colored Bunny Corn for Easter
HAPPY
