The Candy Shop Cocktail

Halloween is almost here and I thought this would be the perfect time to share this new candy-themed cocktail recipe! It’s bright, colorful, sweet, and topped with lots of candy! This is the “grown-up” way to enjoy candy for sure!

The Candy Shop Cocktail is a vodka-based drink, but we used Arrow Lime Vodka specifically because it is a bright green color that makes this drink really pop – in both looks and flavor! It blends with the melon liqueur and blue curaรงao to create an ombre effect of blue green and a deliciously candy-sweet taste. Yes, this is a SWEET drink!

If you’re looking for a fun party drink to make for a Halloween party, or any special occasion that needs WOW-worthy refreshments, this recipe is absolutely perfect! Let your inner child out with this candy cocktail!

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Midori โ€”ย or similar green melon liqueur
  • 2 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 2 oz Arrow Lime Vodka โ€”ย This is a lime flavored vodka that is bright green in color. If you can’t find it in stores, you can swap with plain vodka, just keep in mind the drink will be a little less vibrant.
  • 2 oz Blue Curacao โ€” This is an orange flavored liqueur that is bright blue in color and helps give this drink its signature blue-green ombre look.
  • Lemon-lime soda โ€” There’s no measurement here, as you’ll simply add as much soda as needed to top off the glass.

Bartender Tools Used

  • Cocktail Shaker ย I worked as a bartender for years during and after college and the Boston Shaker is my favorite tool! It’s simple and easy to use!
  • Large Spoon โ€” A regular kitchen spoon will work here, we use it to layer the drink.

Garnish Ideas

  • Lemon or Lime Slices
  • Maraschino Cherries
  • Rock Candy Sticks
  • Your favorite sour candy and gummy candy
