Looking to put a little ‘boo’ in your booze this Halloween? While I can’t quite decide if it’s eerie or cute, one thing I DO know for sure is that this Creepy Halloween Lychee Martini is delicious.
My girlfriend Alex and I spent a fun-filled afternoon reconstructing a martini from memory that we both loved at a restaurant a few years back.
Lychee and grapefruit shine through with every sip and a fun, eyeball garnish is sure to earn you title of ‘ghostess with the mostest’ this Halloween.
Here’s what you need to shake one up:
Creepy Lychee Halloween Martini
Yields 1 drink
You’ll Need:
- 0.75 ounces vodka (we used Grey Goose)
- 0.75 ounces lychee liqueur (we used Soho)
- 1 ounce lychee juice (you can buy lychee juice in a bottle, or simply reserve the juice from your canned lychees)
- 0.5 ounces fresh lime juice
- 0.5 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
- Lychees (fresh or canned) – to muddle and garnish
- Blueberries, to garnish
- Red jam, to garnish
- Ice
Directions:
In a cocktail tin, muddle one whole lychee with vodka and lychee liqueur. Add lime, grapefruit, lychee juice and ice to the tin. Shake vigorously and strain into a martini glass.
To make some spooky eyes as a garnish, spoon a bit of jam into two lychees, fill each with a blueberry and serve on a cocktail pick.
Pro Tip: Do you enjoy your martinis extra cold? Fill your martini glass with ice to help it chill while you make your cocktail.
