Corn Star Martini
Share
In a quiet corner of a rustic speakeasy, the Corn Star Martini was born out of a wild bet between a seasoned mixologist and a country singer on tour. The mixologist was challenged to create a drink that captured the essence of the heartland and the show-stopping flair of Broadway. Inspired by the golden fields of corn and the smoothness of a fine bourbon, the Corn Star Martini emerged.
With its blend of bourbon, sweet corn syrup, and a splash of dry vermouth, this cocktail is a nod to the simple elegance of the land, balanced with a hint of sophistication. Garnished with a corn silk tassel, each sip tells the story of down-home comfort meeting big city dreams—perfect for anyone who believes a drink should always come with a side of spectacle. It’s a toast to the stars, both in the sky and on stage, reminding us that sometimes the best things in life are a little corny—and a lot of fun.
Enjoy this martini and let your inner Corn Star shine!
