- 4 cl Vodka unflavored

Instructions
Make the Lychee Eyes
- Start by selecting two visually appealing lychees from the can. Opt for lychees that are intact and without major tears from pit removal.1 can Lychee
- Choose appropriately-sized blueberries that can fit into the lychees. Adjust the number of blueberries based on their size; sometimes, you might need to use 1 sometimes two blueberries. Make sure the blueberries are positioned in a way that they slightly stick out from the lychee, resembling an eye.2 Blueberries
- Now, let's give the eyes their eerie touch. Grab a toothpick and red food coloring. Treat the toothpick like a brush, applying food color along the natural cracks of the lychee. Add additional red lines to enhance the spooky effect, even where there are no existing cracks.
- Set the eyes aside and move on to preparing the cocktail.
Make the Apple Martini
- Add some ice to your cocktail shaker.
- Combine the Vodka, Martini, apple cider and tonic water in the cocktail shaker.4 cl Vodka, 2 cl Martini, 4 cl Apple Cider, 6 cl Tonic Water
- As there are no citrus fruits in this recipe the drink will be stirred and not shaken. Gently stir the mixture using a cocktail spoon or a regular long spoon.
- Strain the drink using a sieve into a martini glass, ensuring a smooth pour.
- Decorate your drink with your lychee eyes by sticking them on a cocktail pick and placing them on the rim of your glass or simply drop them into the cocktail.
- Cheers!
Notes
- Mocktail Variation: To create a non-alcoholic version of this hauntingly delightful drink, exclude the alcohol. Combine tonic water and apple cider for a refreshing and spooky Halloween mocktail. Enhance the eerie effect by adorning the drink with the creepy lychee eyes. It's the perfect treat for all ages.
- Making a Big Batch: Hosting a Halloween gathering? Easily scale up the recipe to conjure a cauldron-sized batch of this chilling concoction. Multiply the ingredients based on the number of guests. Remember, for the mocktail version, blend larger quantities of tonic water and apple cider, and don't forget to craft ample lychee eyes to give each glass its ghostly gaze.
