Eerie Eyeballs Halloween Cocktail
Just because you’re over 18 doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the Halloween fun.

This cocktail is perfect if you’re hosting a Halloween party or you can make a child-friendly version by omitting the alcohol and replacing with lemonade.

What’s the serving size?
Serves 2
What do I need?
- 120 mL vodka
- 60 mL cranberry juice
- 30 mL freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 45 mL raspberry syrup
For the Eerie Eyeballs
- 565 g tin of lychees
- 75 g raspberry jam
- 125 g punnet blueberries
- Red food colouring
How do I make it?
- Prepare the Eerie Eyeballs first by draining the lychees through a sieve. Tip lychees onto a plate lined with paper towel and gently pat dry.
- Put jam into a small bowl and stir well to loosen it. Transfer the jam to a piping bag or a sandwich bag with the end snipped off. Pipe jam into each lychee to almost fill the main cavity. Press a small blueberry into the middle of the jam with the dimpled part facing up to be the pupil of the eye.
- Using a fine brush paint a little red food colouring around the lychee to create a bloodshot look then set eyeballs aside while you prepare the cocktail.
- To make the cocktail place all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds then strain into a glass and garnish with Eerie Eyeballs.
