![]() ![]() You could also place the "eyeballs" in ice cube trays and fill with water/coconut water for even creepier ice cubes. The "eyeballs" freeze well and would look awesome floating in a punch bowl.If you have any questions please leave a blog comment or email me. I have yet to update it since it seems to be great the way it is. I realize this post becomes more popular before Halloween, I did make this recipe many years ago. My girls had fun helping me make the eyeballs, and I was amazed I had enough for the cocktail photos, they kept eating the lychees and blueberries!! I made them their own mocktail with lychee juice and the eyeballs, they loved it.Ī few more notes before the Creepy Eyeball Martini recipe: I like fun Halloween with a little creep factor. But I have many friends that love that stuff. I love Halloween, but I am not a fan of the super duper gross, gory and the whole obsession with super bloody zombie TV shows is beyond me. Its campy, its funny and has a good amount of creep factor to it without being too gross. Matcha can be somewhat of a grassy freshly clipped lawn flavor so I found using a tea bag makes for a nice color with a more subtle matcha flavor. Subtle matcha flavor as well instead of using matcha powder. ![]() I wanted to do more than just add green tea to the martini so I had an " ah ha!" moment and made simple syrup with it. The best, greenest color I found was from Republic of Tea Double Green Matcha Tea. I did several tests with a few different brands of green tea I have as well as pure matcha powder. I also wanted the drink to have a greenish-yellow tinge to it without artificial color. When I first was creating the cocktail I loved the flavor of the lychee juice and the vodka together but I wanted something more. They definitely thought these were gross and a little creepy. For my Halloween standards that is, and they passed the gross test from my kids. They lychees have a slippery texture so I think they look pretty realistic. So many "gross" Halloween foods that kids love, why not make something for the adults? The "eyeballs" are lychees and fresh blueberries. I was thinking at first that this creepy eyeball martini might be a little too gross, but I went for it anyway. I start with fresh blueberries, but once the eyeballs are assembled you can freeze them.
