2oz candy corn simple syrup (1/3c candy corn, 1/3c water)
3oz lemon juice
4oz water (or NA alcohol)
ice
-
cold foam (optional):
1/2c heavy cream
1/4tsp vanilla
2tsp maple syrup

method//
start by making your candy corn syrup - add 1/3c candy corn + 1/3 water to a saucepan over high heat. bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. stir until candy corn melts down and let simmer for about 15min. strain into a jar and let cool. to make your cocktail: add candy corn simple syrup, lemon juice, water, and ice to a shaker. shake until chilled. pour over ice. instead of adding egg white for froth, i wanted a vanilla cold foam. here’s how to make it: hand froth your heavy cream, vanilla and maple syrup together to create a whipped cold foam topping. add a dollop on top of your drink, if desired. enjoy!
