This smooth and sweet cocktail is a perfect Halloween drink that looks just like a giant piece of candy corn. It’s made up of your favourite sweet flavoured vodka, IZZE peach juice and delicious whipped cream on top, using grenadine to give the well-known ‘sunrise’ effect in the glass.
You can choose your favourite sweet flavoured vodka, we suggest whipped cream, marshmallow or cake flavours to go best with the intoxicatingly refreshing IZZE peach soda. The fizz this juice adds is a perfect bridge between the vodka and grenadine and whipped cream. If IZZE isn’t available where you live you can try any other peach flavoured soda.
Building this drink to look like a candy corn is easier than it may seem. The grenadine naturally sinks to the bottom of the vodka pineapple layer giving it it’s dark colour, and the sparking peach juice sits on top, the perfect platform for a healthy topping of whipped cream topped with candy corn pieces.
