Halloween Happy Hour: Mad Eye Martini

Mad Eye Martini Since Halloween is now a holiday as much for adults as it is kids, here's something for the grown-ups to drink when the kids are in bed with stomach aches from eating so much Halloween food and candy.

It's the Mad Eye Martini, from Hpnotiq. It's cool because blue cocktails always look great, and it also has an eyeball in it! The eyeball is made from a lychee, though I wonder if you could use something else for the eyeball if you don't have that.

Mad Eye Martini

1/2 oz Hpnotiq liqueur
1 oz super premium vodka
2 oz lychee juice

For Eyeball Garnish:

1 canned grade AA lychee in syrup, drained
1/4 tsp cherry, strawberry or raspberry preserves
1 blueberry

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Lychee Eyeball Garnish:

Dry lychee and fill with preserves
Place blueberry, blossom end facing out, into the cavity.
Skewer with cocktail pick (search for Halloween theme picks or picks that look like a miniature ice pick for the full affect).
