Creepy Eyeball Martini #HalloweenFoodFun

By

Carlee of Cooking with Carlee invited us all for some Halloween Food Fun. While the fun factor is in the eyeball garnish, I have to admit that the cocktail is pretty darn tasty, too.


All the Fun Creations...

Creepy Eyeball Martini

Ingredients makes 1 cocktail

  • 2 ounce gin
  • 1-1/2 ounces syrup fro the canned lychees
  • 1 ounce Chartreuse liqueur
  • Also needed: cocktail shaker, ice cubes

 Eyeball Garnish

  • canned lychees
  • blueberries
  • skewers


Procedure
Drain the lychees, reserving the canning syrup for the cocktail. Place a blueberry in the lychee to form the eyeballs, then skewer them to make a pair.


Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour all the ingredients into the shaker. Shake well and strain into a serving glass.


Serve immediately! Cheers.


To make these non-alcoholic substitute, just use the lychee syrup and sparkling water. The boys were happy to be able to take part in the pre-Halloween fun.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two.
