Ingredients:
“Blood” Drip-Rim:
1 tbsp corn syrup
1/4 tsp. liquid red food coloring
“Lychee Eyeballs”:
4 blueberries
4 tinned lychees in syrup, drained
Red food colouring
Cocktail:
2 1/2 oz. orange juice
1 1/2 oz. tequila
1 oz. grenadine
Preparation:
“Blood” drip-rim:
Mix together corn syrup and red food coloring in a wide, shallow bowl or rimmed plate. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to thicken up a bit.
Dip the rim of a youri glass in corn syrup mixture. Set glass upright to let drips form.
Repeat with additional glasses.
Lychee eyeballs:
To make the eyeballs, gently push a blueberry into the middle of each lychee and secure with a cocktail stick. Using the tip of another cocktail stick, add some red food colouring into the grooves of the lychees, to resemble veins. Set aside.
Cocktail:
Combine orange juice and tequila. Pour into prepared glass.
Slowly pour grenadine down the side of the glass. Do not stir.
Add in your lychee “eyeballs” as the finishing touches.
Serve immediately.
This is our favourite cocktail this spooky season! Cheers!
