This good and easy candy corn moonshine takes two ingredients and is so good- great for martinis, mixed drinks, shooters and more! Great gift idea!

At Avdaye, we add lots of tips in all of our recipes – because we are a home cook without any formal training, and we find we are more confident making dishes when we understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. Our goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

Halloween Candy Corn Moonshine

We have a funny admission: we hate candy corn. It's too sweet and oddly plastic tasting- it is the one candy we will willfully pass aside to our kids (without giving it longing eyes… we're talking about you, peanut butter cups…) and it's rarely on our must-have list.

While we might not like candy corn, we can't deny a good cocktail- and this candy corn moonshine is an easy, good way to whip up deliciously sweet cocktails in no time! It's also a great gift for friends, and an awesome way to use up extra candy corn!

This moonshine is one of the easiest we've ever made- it takes two ingredients. And two days time to rest. That's it! You can dress it up in a cute jar or flask in time for Halloween!

This is a great group gift. We like to hand out flavored moonshines for Christmas gifts for our husband's employees because we can make a large batch all at once, and they are so beautiful!

Kitchen notes

A lot of people ask about canning the moonshine. We're not actually sealing the jars- bringing all of the ingredients except the alcohol to a boil, letting it cool, and then adding them to sterile jars with everclear. It is important to use everclear for this recipe since it has such a high alcohol content.

This helps keep everything from going off! It's best to make these ahead and let them sit, as the moonshine will sweeten and become more flavorful over time.

This makes for good cocktails when mixed with sprite, ginger ale, or tonic. It is HIGHLY alcoholic- do not drive after drinking. It is not worth the risk- let's keep the holidays happy! Please also keep well out of the reach of children. This is such an alcoholic drink it could be dangerous if ingested by a child.
