Make the Candy Corn-Infused Vodka

Using a funnel, add the vodka and candy corn to a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal and shake briefly. Let stand at room temperature overnight, or until the candy corn has completely dissolved, shaking occasionally. Refrigerate until chilled. The finished vodka should be bright orange and slightly opaque, with no pieces of candy corn remaining.
