Candy corn is an iconic fixture of Halloween and, of course, there is going to be a cocktail or two around to capture the feel of the tiny candies. Among the many candy corn cocktails one can find recipes with almost every base spirit and this tequila version is quite a tasty option.
The tequila, Familia Camarena, is a relatively newbie on the market and quite impressive. On top of the reposado base, a layer of candy corn flavors are added and include butterscotch, chocolate, and orange. When everything is shaken up the taste is sweet, not too sweet, and has some fascinating depth to it. Also, drinks like this give you an excellent excuse for garnishing with the sweet treats themselves. Have fun with this one.
