Bartender Tips
★ Make the Infusion Magical: Allow the candy corn to infuse into Durty Gurl Vodka until the desired sweetness and color are reached. Strain thoroughly before using. Keep the infusion refrigerated and prepare it in small batches for your Halloween celebration.
★ Keep It Smooth: Shake the ingredients vigorously with plenty of ice to chill the cocktail and blend the creamer evenly with the spirits. If you prefer a lighter sweetness, adjust the creamer slightly to suit your taste.
★ Save the Cotton Candy for Last: Cotton candy dissolves quickly when it touches liquid, so add it right before serving. For extra Halloween flair, serve it perched on the rim or in a small cloud above the glass, keeping it dry until the cocktail is ready to enjoy.
