The fun part about making festive cocktails and martinis is that you can easily change them up to complement whatever time of year it is. Candy corn vodka, anyone? 

What I love best about making martinis for Halloween is that every sip is packed full of that sweet candy flavor. It’s like trick or treating for adults - without having to walk around the ‘hood! 

Speaking of crazy good drink recipes, be sure to check out my Spooky Halloween Cocktails as well as my Lemon Cake Cocktail. All are simple to make, simple to sip, and simple to fall in love with over and over again.

Be sure to drink responsibly or have someone on standby to make your responsible decisions for you, and have a great Halloween.

Why You’ll Love These Martini Recipes

  • They literally taste just like the candy that they’re named after! 
  • You can whip them up with ease to be the best mixologist of the night! 
  • It’s a fun way to add a treat for the grown-ups that they don’t have to worry about sharing with the kids.

Martini Ingredients 

Since I’m showing you how to make three Halloween martinis, the recipes are broken down below. You might as well gather up all the ingredients needed so that you can plan on making all three. (Trust me - you’re going to want to!) 

Twizzler Martini 

For the Twizzler vodka:

  • Twizzler bites
  • vodka

For the Twizzler-tini:

  • Twizzler vodka
  • cranberry juice
  • dash of lime juice

Candy Corn Martinis

For the infused vodka:

  • candy corn
  • vodka

For the Cordials:

  • orange liqueur
  • lemon
  • egg white
  • Candy corn, for garnish

Dark Chocolate Martini

For the Sugar Rim

  • raw sugar

For the Dark Chocolate Martini

  • chocolate liqueur
  • vodka
  • chilled espresso
  • heavy cream

How to infuse vodka

To get all the steps and directions for these martini recipes, scroll to the bottom of the post for the recipe card.

To make these festive Halloween drinks, infusing vodka is key. This is basically where you’re adding the flavor of the candy to the vodka to make the candy-inspired martinis. 

While you’ll be changing out the type of candy used depending on the Halloween drink recipe that you pick, the basics to infuse vodka are the same. 

Combine the candy with the vodka, and then store it in an airtight container. It needs to stay in that container for at least 3 hours. Strain and then use the vodka for the martini recipes. 

Pro Tips 

  • Chop up the candy before adding it to the vodka. It just makes it easier to store that way. 
  • If you want to really spice up your night, you can actually eat the candy that’s been soaking in the vodka. Be warned - it’s STRONG.
  • If you want to wait until after Halloween to make this martini, use the leftover candy from the kid's trick-or-treating! 

Variations 

As you can probably guess, this recipe for making Halloween martinis can be used with any type of candy. Twizzlers, candy corn, skittles….you name it! 

How to store 

Since it takes a bit to infuse vodka, you can make it ahead of time and then store it for later. I would keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge for the best results.

FAQs

Do you have to use a cocktail shaker for a martini? 

It’s not a requirement to have one, but it does make it fun! Shaking up these Halloween martini recipes and serving them to your family and friends is all part of the process.
If you don’t have a martini shaker, just stir well and pour. 

What are good garnishes for a martini glass? 

Since these cocktails are all centered around sweets and treats, put a few of them on the rim of the glass. Swirl a bit of chocolate, add a twizzler bite or candy corn to the side, or even just sprinkle on some sugar. 

Can I make martinis ahead of time? 

You can easily make the vodka portion of this recipe ahead of time, but when it comes to serving and pouring, this is best fresh. 

Do you serve martinis over ice? 

Typically, no. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t. If you’re a fan of an iced martini, make it happen. It’s your drink - enjoy it!

      I can't believe you were that close to snow and went to find it! There is something charming about the first snow though we expect it in October I know from our conversation last week, you don't! I love these photos! Gorgeous and very fun to read at the first of the spookiest day of the year! Boo. Have a great one.

      I can't believe you drove for two hours to see the first snow! Sounds like a fun day, except the almost kidney explosion part:)
      Happy Halloween Kita! Spooky cocktails!

      These all look like a perfect way to spend Halloween to me! And I'm not the biggest candy corn fan, but I'm very intrigued by the Candy Corn Cordials.

        I would say if your not the biggest candy corn fan - don't go for this one. I'm not either and tbh, what happens to candy corn as its hanging out in vodka didn't help my 'love' of candy corn any 😉

      Why oh why did I NOT buy any Twizzlers? That Twizzler-tini sounds fabulous and the hubby loves him some Twizzlers. Dang it. Looks like I will be hitting up the post-Halloween sales tomorrow.
