Candy Corn Cordial and Swamp Juice. Say what?


Halloween is without a doubt one of my husband's favorite holidays. Of course my kids love it as well, but that is a given considering the bags of candy they always drag home. I, on the other hand didn't know about Halloween until I met my husband. It wasn't celebrated in Germany, even though I've come to find out that it is starting to become a custom for many people there as well. Over the years, and probably in part because of my kids and husbands enthusiasm, I have come to love this holiday just as much. Join me this week as I'm featuring "howl-worthy" recipes for kids and adults alike. Maybe you are still looking for a few ideas to put the finishing touches on your own Halloween party or maybe you are just looking for fun. In any instance, I'm hoping you enjoy some of these holiday treats!


I'm kicking my Halloween week off with a couple of drinks. One is for all the adults and the other is for the kids, designated drivers, or those that like a good swamp juice. Either way, they are a great way to get your party started. First up a candy corn inspired cordial that is certainly beautiful to look at and even better to sip. Vodka is infused with candy corn for a few hours which imparts the great color scheme. Your vodka won't be tasting exactly like candy corn, but it will add a good amount of sweetness. The colored liquor is then mixed with Grand Marnier, lemon juice and a splash of lemon-lime soda for a bit of fizz.




Next up is the green tinted swamp juice. This drink is a hit with kids and adults alike. Lime jello is dissolved in hot water before being mixed with pineapple juice, orange juice concentrate and lastly a splash of ginger ale. Yellow and blue food coloring assure the perfect color and while I usually don't advocate artificially colored food, Halloween is one of the few exceptions I make. Decorate these drinks with gummy worms or go ahead and freeze little gummy critters in an ice cube tray and drop them into your swamp juice for a "gross" affect.

Both of these drinks are easy to make ahead. Making a big pitcher or punch bowl will free up your hands and makes it easy to mingle instead of playing bartender. All that's left to do when your guests arrive is the splash of soda. Even if you are not planning a party this year, you might be able to surprise your loved ones with one of these drinks and get everyone involved into a ghoulish mood!


Candy Corn Cordial
~Makes 4 drinks~

Ingredients:
For the infused vodka:
1/2 cup candy corn
1 1/2 cup vodka

  1. These are really cool cocktail recipe ideas for Halloween. I'll be throwing out a party and I'm just completing my cocktail list. Of course, vodka is at the top of the list, being a personal favorite. I also have pomegranate martini for some reds and a black martini recipe I read somewhere which is really awesome looking. I think the the candy corn cordial will be a great addition.

  2. I love that you are going to be posting Halloween recipes this week! There are so many wonderful Halloween recipes and they are so much fun to share. Both of these drinks are festive and fun! I love the idea of infusing vodka with candy corn. And that swamp juice is super cute for the kids. Great post!

    1. Thanks for this great recipe. You probably understand how difficult to find good recipes of swamp juice. I have been cooking for about 7 years using recipes that I find on the internet and I am not always lucky enough to find a recipe like this. I wanted to offer you to record a video guide with the preparation of this dish and post it on Instagram, given that your recipe is good, but it lacks clarity in preparing it so that others can easily repeat it. I saw a lot of instructions on how to cook various dishes there and mostly such videos have posted by accounts that have from 24 to 87 thousand of followers! Which suggests that their ownerss are using https://viplikes.net/ services to buy instagram followers.

  3. OH MY! The swamp juice has me jumping for joy! I am saving this recipe for next year when my itty bitty will be able to drink this from a cup. I love the concept of the candy corn cordial also! Great recipes to kick off the Halloween pre-week!

  6. I didn't know Halloween either when I was a kid. I have started to really experience it here in the US and now it's kind of celebrated in Italy too. I'm still not into it. I haven't prepared a post with halloween cupcakes and bars but boy, your drinks look soooo much fun.

  7. Haha, I love it! I've never hosted a Halloween party before, but maybe the BH and I will make these to sip while the kiddos come T or Ting around our house-- a few of those, and we'd REALLY scare 'em!

  8. The swamp juice looks a little scary to me. I know that my kids would love it. I will take the recipe to try. We will be having a big Birthday Halloween Party at our house this weekend. Looking forward to all of your recipes this week.

  19. Love them both!!! The candy corn infused vodka looked really interesting... never heard of anything like that. As I'm not much of a sweet/candy person I'm not sure that the Swamp Juice is for me... but I know a little girl who would love it!

  27. Oh yeah, Halloween is definitely the main time of year that we bring out the food coloring in everything to make it festive. My kids love Naked Juice's Green Machine - totally looks like authentic swamp juice without the food coloring!
