Eyeball Martinis for Halloween

By rejadez

Be careful not to drink too many of these creepy cocktails. The frozen eyeballs staring back can really be disconcerting! The eyes are perfect in a martini, or any clear drink -- alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

Ingredients

• EYEBALL:
• 1 radish
• 1 pimiento stuffed green olive
• Ice cube maker
• DRINK:
• 1 shot gin or vodka
• 1/4 shot dry vermouth (more or less to taste)
• NOTE: Can use any clear drink, alcoholic or non alcohol

Preparation

Step 1

Peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin on to represent blood vessels.

Using the tip of the vegetable peeler or a small, knife, carefully scoop out a small hole in each radish, roughly the size of an olive.

Stuff a green olive, pimiento side out, in each hole.

Place 1 radish eyeball in each section of an empty ice cube tray. Pare the radishes down a bit to fit, if necessarry. Fill the tray with water and freeze overnight.

To make drink, fill a tall cocktail glass with 3 to 4 eyeball ice cubes, add ingredients in the order given. Shake or stir, as is your preference.
