If you’re a fan of Stephen King’s chilling tales, and Children of the Corn still sends a shiver down your spine, then this cocktail is right up your alley!

Kettle Corn Killer

Much like the unsettling surprises that await in the cornfields, this cocktail holds its own secrets. At first, kettle corn and gin might seem like an odd pairing, but once you take that first sip, you’ll realize they work together. 

The Kettle Corn Killer offers a surprisingly balanced flavor profile. The gin, infused with buttery kettle corn, brings a smooth and slightly sweet depth to the cocktail. The fresh orange juice adds brightness and tang, while the orange blossom water offers a subtle floral hint, elevating the entire drink. The playful garnish adds a nod to both the terrifying rural setting and the movie theater snacks that keep us company during our favorite horror films.

So, the next time you’re bracing yourself for a scary movie marathon or hosting a spooky fall gathering, serve up a Kettle Corn Killer and let the creepy vibes begin.
