Halloween Bloody Eyeball Cocktails


  • Author: Sarah White

Description

Serve Bloody Eyeball Cocktails this Halloween using lychees, blueberries, red wine, and cranberry juice. Creepy, fun, and deliciously spooky!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of lychees (or 12 fresh lychees, peeled and pitted)
  • 12 fresh blueberries (small enough to fit into lychees)
  • 2 cups red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot works well)
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup water or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Red gel food coloring (optional)
  • Small artist’s brush (for adding blood effect)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eyeballs: Insert a fresh blueberry into the cavity of each lychee. The darker the berry, the more realistic it looks.
  2. Create blood drips (optional): Using a small artist’s brush, paint streaks of red gel food coloring around the lychee to resemble bloodshot veins. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Mix the drink base: In a large pitcher, combine red wine, cranberry juice, and water or sparkling water. Stir well.
  4. Assemble the cocktails: Fill each glass with ice and 2-3 lychee eyeballs. Pour the drink mixture over the top.
  5. Serve cold: Stir lightly before serving. Add more eyeballs for dramatic effect!

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, replace wine with pomegranate juice or black cherry soda.

Make eyeballs ahead and store in the fridge for up to a day.

Add dry ice to the serving bowl for a smoky, haunted vibe.
