Sweet tooth? You\u2019ve come to the right place. These fun-to-make-at-home candy cocktails are playful, colourful, and decadent! Check out our 7 favorite sips that bring the sweet stuff straight to your shaker:<\/p>\n

1. Mexican Candy cocktail<\/h2>\n

\"Mexican<\/p>\n

The Mexican Candy cocktail<\/a> is a lip-smacking watermelon, lime and tequila combo served in a glass with a fiery, chili-spiced taj\u00edn rim. Inspired by a popular Mexican watermelon-flavored sweet, dusted with a hint of spice, this cocktail pairs perfectly with an upbeat playlist and a gathering of your besties.<\/p>\n

2. Pop Rocks Kamikaze<\/h2>\n

\"Pop<\/p>\n

Here’s a cocktail that pops! Literally! Brush the rim of a small tumbler or shot glass with agave and dip into a saucer filled with pop rocks. Pour 1 oz Skyy Vodka into a shaker with 1 oz Grand Marnier<\/a>, 1 oz lime juice, a dash of green food coloring for max effect, and add a handful of ice. Shake until icy cold and strain into your glass.<\/p>\n

3. Candy Corn Martini<\/h2>\n

\"Candy<\/p>\n

Grown-ups are allowed a little Halloween fun<\/a>, too! This over-the-top sweet Candy Corn cocktail<\/a> is made with our easy candy corn-infused vodka, fresh pineapple juice and heavy cream. Deliciously decadent!<\/p>\n

4. Boozy Sour Watermelon Slushies<\/h2>\n

\"Sour<\/p>\n

For a refreshing summer sip, try this boozy Sour Watermelon Slushie. In a mason jar, soak 8 Sour Patch watermelon candies in 2 oz Skyy Vodka and leave overnight to infuse. When ready to serve, add a sugar rim to your chosen glasses before straining the infused vodka into a blender with a handful of chopped watermelon, 2 oz lemon and lime soda, 2 oz lemonade and a handful of ice. Blitz until smooth. If you haven\u2019t eaten all the candy already, skewer a few onto a cocktail stick as your garnish.<\/p>\n

5. Jolly Rancher Cosmo<\/h2>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

Another sweet infusion coming up, starring Jolly Ranchers! Infuse 10-12 candies per 8 oz of vodka overnight. The next day, shake together 1.5 oz of the Jolly Rancher-infused vodka, \u00bd oz Grand Marnier, 1 oz cranberry juice, a squeeze of lime with a handful of ice in a shaker. Strain into a coupe glass to serve.<\/p>\n

6. Gummy Bear Sangria<\/h2>\n

\"Gummy<\/p>\n

For a retro party punch, mix up a jug of Gummy Bear Sangria. Pour 4 oz vodka into a large pitcher, add a bottle of red wine and top up with lemon and lime soda. Drop in a handful or two of gummy bears and stir. Because nothing says ‘adulting’ like wine, vodka, and candy in one glass.<\/p>\n

7. Skittles Margarita<\/h2>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

Taste the rainbow with a Skittles Margarita! Choose your favorite colors, drop the Skittles into a mason jar filled with tequila and leave overnight to infuse. When it’s go-time, shake the Skittles infusion well before straining 2 oz into a shaker with a handful of ice. Add 1 oz Grand Marnier, squeeze in the juice of 1 lime (about 1 oz) and add \u00bd oz simple syrup. Shake it like you mean it and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
